Today is the first day of Autumn.
The colours of the different trees are magnificent at this time of year, green, yellow, orange, brown, red... even those with bare branches have their particular spindly charm. We have a soft and colourful carpet of fallen leaves to soften our path.
The wind sings through the park, whispering among the branches, and the leaves rustle to join in the chorus.
Soon we'll be making pumpkin soup and looking forward to the end of year festivities, buying cards and chocolates.
Already we need to cover up more and wrap up warm before venturing out, the cold is gradually settling in for the next six months.
Behind the scenes though, Nature is already preparing for rebirth next Spring.
Nice to have four distinctive seasons to enjoy, each with their own beauty and pleasures.

) of home. Over there, there was no twilight as such - one minute it's daytime and then suddenly it's night, though I did experience some truly magical sunsets over the sea.
