Yesterday I went for an 'Autumn Walk' with James and by autumn walk I mean I had a wander through the park walking on crunchy leaves and taking pictures!
There's something quite therapeutic about autumn, I know it's when things start to wither and die off but it's like bit like a scrubology where nature has a bit of a clean up by clearing out the parts that have gone into disrepair or gathered a few dust bunnies too many in order to make way for all the new things that will replace them in spring.
I also like that autumn is when pollen stops being released and I stop sneezing briefly until I catch a cold!
My only regret from yesterday is that while I was walking under some trees there was a big gust that blew lots of leaves off the trees and it looked as if they were dancing in time with each other as they fell to the ground - by the time I got my phone out to take a picture, they had all landed. It was a magical thing to see though.
Another magical moment was watching squirrels, which I didn't get any photos of either because they were too speedy. I saw two squirrels in particular approaching a family with two young boys who had brought some tiny nibbles for them and actually come right up to them and take food from their hand. Usually when I see squirrels and humans in close proximity, the squirrel runs off fairly quickly so it was pretty cool to see that.
Here's some of the pictures that I took, most of them will probably find their way into what's left of my 100 Days of Happy - 20 days left!
