“Autumn. It’s crispness, it’s anticipation, it’s melancholia, it’s cool breezes replacing summer’s heat. It’s long days in the field, a harvest festival when work’s done, a cheering crowd in a football stadium, chrysanthemums punctuating a somber landscape. It’s Halloween high-jinx, pumpkins grinning toothy smiles, the crack of pecan pressed against pecan. It’s the first curls of woodsmoke, fresh blisters from pushing a rake. It’s crisp and fresh and mellow and snug, solemn and melancholy. And it’s very, very welcome.” Author: Good Housekeeping Magazine

Such richness of colours on the photos and Good Housekeeping magazine got it right.
The temperatures now tells us we are heading for the white season where the trees
form a lattice work against the sky.

Such a wonderful depiction of this season, the subtle fading of blue skies, pastels deepening to earth tones…and the melancholia that often comes with these changes. Thank you for the beautiful words and photographs.
