Description
"To gild the lily" means to ornament or embellish something that is already beautiful and does not require it. While the connotation of the phrase implies wastefulness or folly, I don't think anyone would complain about the addition of golden pre-sunrise tones to the picture-perfect peak fall foliage in this image of Vermont's Essex County.
