Β The weather is getting colder and the leaves are falling… I love how these two photos capture the beauty of the last few moments of the autumnal sun: We took a stroll along the river and through the gardens this afternoon between 3 and 4pm, it’s amazing now how much shorter the days are now. It was a beautiful sunny day, but as the sun faded the chill night air moved in, so we headed for home.
How’s your week been? What’s the weather like where you are? J xox
Hi. Your photos are beautiful. Here in the UK we still need our Wellies most days but today has been bright and sunny. Rain forecast for the next four days though! I’m sure summer will arrive soon. Have a great weekend x

I love autumn, but here in the southern USA summer has just begun! It’s in the 90’s (F) during the day, and the 70’s at night. It is humid and the bugs are everywhere! However, it is beautiful and the flowers and vegetables are beautiful right now. Your photos are so pretty and make me miss autumn.

Thanks for the beautiful photos. It’s hard to resist taking photos of autumn leaves. Their color is perfect for such a brief time. Our leaves down in Central Southland have blown away or turned brown. Yesterday I was unable to resist taking photos of brown leaves edged with white frost while working in the garden.

I started full time work again this Monday and have been so tired from having to wake up early again! So not used to it! But loving working again after being a Hausfrau for two years in Germany! I’m missing being in the northern hemisphere though! It’s getting colder and colder, nowhere near as cold as Germany, but lots of the blogs I read and Youtube channels I watch are British or American, and they all have spring-inspired things, and I’m really missing warm weather! It’s refreshing to see that you’re going through autumn/heading into winter too!

It felt kind of weird to read this post because today in the UK, we had above average humidity and it was rather warm. It was my first ‘No Socks’ day of this year actually!
Isn’t it weird to think that it’s the opposite temperature somewhere else? Kind of like they’re/you’re a few months behind!
But I love your photos. Autumn is always so warm and cozy, isn’t it? Like a log fire

Here in the UK we are waking up to a warm sunny day. We are meant to be in ‘flaming June’ but so far it has been rather a wash out than the start of summer.
