This is beautiful Clare. I fell in love with Autumn all over again.

"I am ready to gently pick up Autumns cloak and feel the soft folds wrap around my shoulders" - such gorgeous words. I love it. ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ

Clare, reading your letters always feels like Iโ€™m walking with you ๐Ÿ™ I love how you capture the bittersweet beauty of transition - how endings and beginnings coexist, how grief and gratitude can walk side by side. The birdโ€™s song, the shift of leavesโ€ฆ such simple, beautiful anchors that help us stay grounded in the midst of change.

Youโ€™ve captured this time of the year so wonderfully with your words and beautiful pictures.

So wonderful to see that your autumn is earlier than mine. The oaks in my garden are still green so I have to wait for a few weeks, but Iโ€™m looking forward to their sigh of relief. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Our Autumn is so early this year Hilda. At first I was worried but then I realised nature was not worrying. Despite the heat and lack of rain here in the Uk nature just did its thing. Such a comfort! ๐Ÿ

Here we were concerned about the acorns already falling, but that seems to be due to the very dry summer. It is indeed nature making a wise decision ๐Ÿ˜Š

So very beautiful, Clare, you've expressed it so well how this time feels like. ๐Ÿฉท

I especially loved this sentence: "I am ready to gently pick up Autumns cloak and feel the soft folds wrap around my shoulders." Yes, me too. โ˜บ๏ธ
