The seasons they are changing

An Autumn sky littered with leaves

As I get older I appreciate the turn of seasons a whole lot more. I have always been a summer lover, but that is changing and Autumn holds a special place in my heart.

Maybe it is because my trip of a life time happened in that season, maybe it is because that is the season I married my great love, maybe it is the colours and the temperature....The change of hot, hot weather to cooler, comfortable weather. It allows me to breathe, to run, to change.........
Just 10 or so minutes from the beach you will find beautiful properties at Matcham. I love the wooden fences and the way the trees drape over them

Anyway I am enjoying the show mother nature is putting on for us at the moment..Her colour palette so rich and ever changing, the colours are not what you could dream. She is a grand artist and I am her humble follower....I hope you enjoy her grandeur as much as I do.



I love the look of this property, nestled in the ever changing trees

There was so much colour in this photo that I decided to simplify it and take the colour out. What appeals to me is the wood pile under the tree, next to a rickety fence. The fence is actually pink, the tree all gold and red, a bright blue tarp to the right of the picture and the grass a vivid green.



Now this little beauty goes against the gold and red leaves of Autumn, but she is just so beautiful. Camellia's are in bloom in my garden and are the most perfectly formed flowers. I love the dark green glossy leaves against the pale pink of the flower. She gets it so right!
