Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way (Justin Hayward)

Possess, as I possessed a season, 
The countries I resign, 
Where over elmy plains the highway 
Would mount the hills and shine, 
And full of shade the pillared forest 
Would murmur and be mine - A.E. Housman (1922)






The lengthening shadows are a dead giveaway - autumn is coming.

The cooler nights and shorter days are another - autumn is coming.

With three weeks to go (autumn takes over in the southern hemisphere on March 21), everything is starting to feel sharper as the temperature starts dropping, thankfully there's no humidity, with a changing sun pattern there are some distinctive earlier shadows in the day, and the first signs of leaves turning. 

I love autumn. It's my favourite.

Love and peace - WNP
