Be-jewelled Autumn

 Have you ever noticed how the colours of Autumn are full of jewel and gem tones? Gold, ruby, bronze, copper, amber, topaz. Even smudges of amethyst on blackberry stained fingers. Like as if the trees are arraying themselves in all their rich loveliness before Winter's unadorned repose.

Glimpses of be-jewelled trees, footpaths, doorsteps, window-panes, windscreens and puddles to your week!

Gaoth, wind, viento, vent

It has been a windy May. Yesterday the wind led the rain in a merry dance. I stood under a tree til it passed, grateful for it's green dry shelter, watching them dance. Sunny today, so the wind chases shadows across the grass and the trees toss their arms about in laughter.
