I don’t know why for many people autumn is the sad season. I know, it hasn’t the shiny sun and holiday at the seaside as summer..or the magic snow, Christmas and New Year’s Eve as winter..or the rebirth of plants and flowers as spring…but I don’t underestimate the beauty and poetry of autumn’s colours.
Also the American translation as a negative meaning..”fall”. Right?
It’s a month that I spent my mornings at the park and every time I was excited for the breezy air that I breath, the whisper of the wind in my hair, birds chirping, the sound of the squirrels’ racing up on the trees and the rainbow of the colors around me: green, orange, yellow, red and all their shades.
(Of course to be honest I have to admit that I was very lucky for all these warm days here in London!! I know).
I love watch people around me walking, running (one time I saw one running without shoes), do jogging or just relaxing outside like me.
For me,infact, it’s the most relaxing part of the day: the baby sleeps in the buggy, I walk and I completely alone and free with my thoughts.
I have started also to take photos about what I like: trees, leaves, fountains, gardens, monuments.. everything that hits my gaze. I never take photo as a hobby but actually I can do it.. some of them are very nice (also from other opinions).
Also cities, streets and shop windows become more colored..both in the first part for hallowen and in the second for Christmas!!
From the half part of November the nights become bright as the days for the all lights and decorations that appear everywhere.
I like also going to supermarkets. Did you see how many seasonal vegetables and fruits are in?
Under the wooly hat, your eyes can peer out the orange pumpkins, the brown of chestnuts, the green of spinach and artichokes, the yellow of lemons and apples… it’s like a palette of a painter.
I don’t know if others notice all of that or if it’s just my attempt to look for the beauty in everything. I think now the most important stuffs for people are more linked to technologies..social media.. “pretend to be” and not “to be”..and so sometimes they forget the world’s magic!!
But this is an another story (maybe the next).
So enjoy the autumn!!
Remember, Don’t be shy!! Life is good ☀️
