change of seasons

By

 

As much as I wish I could cling on to summer forever, autumn is here in the UK. I’ve been in denial even though the signs are clear. The days are shortening, the clouds have moved over and are staying longer, and the mornings are dark with that crisp air on your face.

Thankfully my lens will help me embrace the change of seasons, and luckily autumn has plenty of beauty to offer, easing me into this colder spell. The light changes as the angle of the sun moves and we see less of her bright warming light. The abundant greens, turn into a kaleidoscope of colours that makes my heart race. Even my biggest enemy, the rain, can be beautiful…

This year I’m going to soak up all that autumn offers and use my camera as a tonic to change. I will try and use my viewfinder to search and seek beauty, all helped by daily prompts from Tracey’s Picture Fall, which starts today, will you join us as we dive into autumn feet first?

How do you find the change of seasons? and will you share with us it’s beauty today?๏ปฟ

  1. Living in southern California, the change of seasons is not as dramatic as other areas. But since starting my first Project 365 just over two months ago, I feel I am much more aware of even the subtle changes in the season and beauty that is everywhere all the time. But with this change into fall, I am seeing it most in the changing colors of the leaves.

  5. This picture took my breath away. It is just beautiful. And I agree with you- there is great beauty to be found in the effects of rainfall if you just look for it.

  9. I totally understand your reluctance to give up on summer but hopefully this year Autumn will bring us less rain and more of those crisp sunny days.

    Thank you for featuring my conker photo in this article. I love reading your posts and visiting your Flickr stream. Your photos and words are an inspiration.

    Happy Autumn.

  13. I do love the colors of fall being the color junky that I am and I think the October sky is the truest bluest sky of the entire year. I try really hard to like fall but I can't knowing what's on the other side.

    I'm really looking forward to Picture Fall! When I woke this morning it was the first thing on my mind and I couldn't wait to fire up the computer for the prompt.

    In these parts the fair is a true sign of the change from summer to fall.

  22. Beautiful photo!

    I was about to share a particular photo of mine and then realized you'd linked to it already. Thank you so much! One of the things I love about the fall is that the sun starts to be lower in the sky all day long, and there are more hours to find beautiful light. During the summer the best light is often during the hours when I am busy with family things, and now the light is gorgeous in the afternoon:
