What a beautiful, moody season autumn is. Even under grey skies, golden and russet leaves can be beautiful. There’s something so melancholy about the shortening days and darker evenings, the squirrels scampering about gathering their winter stores to see them through until the arrival of spring. Warm jumpers and hats and gloves are beckoning and need to be located from where they were previously stored, sometimes carelessly, in excitement at the coming of summer. At least the waning year brings good reason to make hot chocolate and drink it curled up reading a good book.

Below is my personal autumn gallery, containing some of my favourites from my collection. Click or tap on an image to enlarge it.

It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.
