Westonbirt Arboretum is one of the most beautiful places to admire the changing season with it’s spectacular collection of Japanese Acers and other trees from all over the world. Even though we were a little early to catch the display at its peak, it was still a delight to see the trees beginning to blush from green to yellows, browns, reds and purples, all framed by the bright blue Autumn sky.
When the weather begins to turn and we feel a little glum at the thought of oncoming winter, these fiery hues cheer our hearts and remind us that each season has its beauty and its lessons.

my friend from america writes about autumn – ” the time of looking back, and of remembering simple things of summer.
in autumn we turn inward and begin to gather the outdoor hours, enfold them as best as we can in our arms and laps and upheld skirts and carry them with us indoors. the windows are shut even before the sun has set. candles are lit, lamps turned on, books pulled out. it is a time of reflection, of turning in, of nestling into that favourite floral overstuffed chair”.
Isnt that beautiful! Xxx

That is very beautiful. I love the description of gathering in the hours, as that is exactly what we are doing at this time of year, gathering all the abundance of Mama Nature to sustain us through the winter. Lovely.
