Autumn

I was walking to work today in the blustery wind and rain with the music from my mp3 player enveloping me into my own autumn music video. That's when I experienced the freshness and beauty of autumn - not for the first time, but each time is almost always just as moving as the first. An amazing feeling.

The street I walk down every morning is lined with huge trees, the leaves ranging from a light green to burnt orange to yellow - most on the ground now. The few leaves that remain on the trees, cling to the branches flickering, jiggling and dancing around like they're alive and excited about something.

Autumn is one of those seasons where the beauty of nature really stands out. So much that it's hard to ignore. It brings you down to earth and prepares you for the brisk weather that's about to follow making you think of snug jumpers, thick socks and jackets and time all cosied up indoors.

Autumn makes me gooey on the inside :o)
