This morning was one of the first days with a clear autumn feeling in the air; a tired sun, still managing to inch above the horizon early in the morning but the light waning and cooler. Crisp, chilly air that you know will be warm in the day but one that soon starts begging for a coat in the mornings.
As I watched the thunderstorm raging outside earlier today, while welcoming even the fleeting rain it brings after a long dry period, I also had one small wish for the fall of this year – for it to be as warm, beautiful and pleasant as it was last year.
To commemorate this first day of autumn, below an image from late last fall – a sunset reflected off a fence before 5pm – and one from last weekend what might’ve been, mentally anyway, the last day of summer this year.
