On looking forward to Autumn.

For a while now Autumn has been in the back of my mind, looming like the sore patch before a spot comes and I haven't been looking forward to it. I've been watching the edges of the leaves brown, nothing seems to be alive in our garden anymore. This is an exaggeration because we've got slugs coming out of our ears and they must be eating something, but the garden feels a bit over somehow. The sunflowers have died and even though we haven't harvested the potatoes and the carrots and the courgettes, the plants they are attached to are nearly finished. My Dad used to say he disliked August because everything was grey instead of green, used up and losing it's beauty and I feel a bit like that.

But now I've got my camera things feel different. I can't wait for the leaves to turn, for the berries to ripen. For the clear crisp mornings that only Autumn brings. It is a lovely time to visually document and I am excited about having the opportunity to do it so thank you Life for giving me this camera, I look forward to doing you justice in using it.
