"Nic is forever delighted by the first signs of degeneration and decay!"
You'll be forgiven if you think that that degeneration also includes my photo-taking skills. I know - the first photo is a higgledy-piggledy mess of slightly over-contrasted scrappy leaves and a not particularly pleasing arrangement of tree trunks, and while the second may be slightly better composition-wise, it's still bland and hardly worth sharing.
But look. Look closer. Do you see? The rowan leaves at the bottom of the first photo? They're turning pink! And the second photo? Pale green, orange, and yellow, baby!
AUTUMN IS COMING! (Like Winter Is Coming, but hopefully with less chance of having your head chopped off by a spoilt boy-king.)
My favourite time of year is just around the corner!
I have never been a fan of Summer; the combination of being a fair-skinned redhead with a remedial need to stay covered up at all times, and being fat with an overriding emotional need to stay covered up at all times has led to a dislike of Summer months that border on dread.
Give me Autumn and Winter where I can hide my layers underneath layers of clothing. Give me seasons when everyone is wearing more and I stick out less from the crowd. Give me seasons when it gets dark early and I can wear my black and blend in later.
But give me seasons of change and colours and paths covered in crisp leaves. Give me seasons of emerging tree-forms, black against the blue sky and chilled, misty breath past frozen waterways and sleeping earth.
I can't wait!
