Of late I have been really struck by the enormous beauty of our city’s autumn leaves: trees with red leaves capping lower green leaves yet to turn, golden nugget leaves reflecting the sun and orange-brown leaves waiting their turn to flutter to the ground.
Brilliant hues against a grey sky or rich tones when the sky is, more occasionally now, so blue.
Pondering on this keen desire to soak up all autumn’s hues, the realisation has struck me that this longing has been stoked by the bleakness of the recent past.
