One of the sure signs that Autumn is here is a quick glance at the grand tree on our nature strip. In the last couple of weeks, she's started to change her colours and I know it's nearly time to get my rake out of hibernation.
There is a light smattering of lovely golden and cherry coloured leaves forming on my front lawn. Next weekend might have to be my first rake of the season.
Autumn is definitely my favourite season. One for the fashion; jackets, scarves, boots, knitted beanies & berets. Secondly for the beauty; our grand tree, the many tree lined Melbourne streets that stream with colour and for the beautiful crisp but sunny days that Autumn brings.
I think that my most beautiful Autumn was last year when we visited NYC. Central Park was an amazing experience, with the most splendid Autumn colours. It really took my breath away. The shades of colour were so vivid and beautifully contrasted with the lush green fields and lawns. Ice skating had just started in the Park, people were out enjoying the beauty, the ice and the sunshine. It was such a special time to be in NYC and I hope to do it again someday.
