”My eyes open to the new day but I’m not ready to greet it yet.

Autumn is here. The leaves begin to change colour and fall. Nature is performing its ‘Let it go!’ dance once again!
A few more weeks and all the deciduous trees will look pretty much the same, revealing their solid and beautiful structure that we can all admire on a cold and misty day.
