1st of March in the Southern Hemisphere. Summer has left town now and the lovely and delicously visually aromatic Autumn as taken it’s place. Can’t say I’m sad, Autumn is my 2nd favourite season, following very closely on the heels of Spring (for obvious reasons). Who doesn’t love Spring? Autumn has the most incredible feel to it. It’s not even a tangible feeling, just the hint of coolness that brushes over your skin first thing in the morning. The crispness. The hint of things beginning their slow decline into winter hibernation. I love this part.
I’m waiting with relish for the leaves to start their turn. My camera trigger finger is twitching in anticipation already, planning in my head the thought of prospecting out to find the most outrageously coloured autumn leaves, the rich reds, golds, oranges and yellows. I always try to keep a few autumn leaves inside on my coffee table, to hold onto the beauty of them, but they were never made to be a lasting beauty and the colour fades as the brittleness of the delicate leaf crumbles away. A respite from the humid heat of Summer will be welcome by many. Plus one other beneficial side-effect of the cooler weather – the opportunity to wear my new black leather boots, purchased at the end of last Winter, but barely worn. Boots with just the perfect height and shape heel. Supple black, knee length sexy as boots. Can’t wait to get those on my legs.
So, welcome Autumn. It’s sure great to see you back 🙂
I'm the Mama - get outta my way!
