I went for a country walk today. Taking a long walk in Autumn is a very different experience from taking a walk in summer. In autumn there are more smokey bonfires, as people tend to burn their garden waste 🧹🍃🍂at this time of year. They make fires in Chimineas in old metal dust bins, fire pits or they may have a large open bonfire🔥 at the end of their gardens. The smell of the bonfire may be quite pleasant.(or not depending on what is rubbish is placed on the bonfire!) While walking outside in autumn, there is a much softer diffused sunlight that passes through the low hanging clouds.
The changing colours of autumn are awesome 🍂The leaves are so colourful, with all the reds, the 🍁 browns, the yellows, the greens and the gold colours of the leaves. The fallen leaves lie like a quiet carpet that covers the earth or like a cheery 🍂multicoloured blanket that the children will love to run through on the village green!
Watching the leaves falling, floating down, can be calming to look at, or can be sad, depending on the mood you are in at the time. The end of the summer can be a relief, a joy because it is the start of something new, a new season, the change is welcome. The air is fresher, it is reinvigorating and it's cooler and chillier ❄ Time to put on a jumper or warmer jacket and scarf when going out walking! 👢🧣🧥
The sounds of autumn are different too. There is more of an echo, a vast emptiness, a quiet surreal stillness, sounds are subtle more distant and sparse especially out here in the fields far from the loud rumbling sounds of the busy traffic!
