Autumnal Colour and Some More

 The Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said, "The only constant is change." Autumn reminds us that our bodies, minds, and surroundings are always developing. It focuses on the impermanence of life, emphasizing how vital it is to embrace the present. By doing so, we can savour what we have before it is gone. Autumn is undoubtedly a season of beautiful colour. While most might focus on the gorgeous fading greens, yellows and reds, you do not have to look far to realize that autumn has so much more to offer chromatically. 

Grey skies commonly frame the valley sides, a brooding backdrop but an atmospheric treat to match the autumnal chills. The dahlias still have the last of their blooms and Tibetan cherry is a distinct burnished bronze. 

Top tip: get outside and enjoy all the colours of the season before the winter arrives and the covers have to go over the garden furniture.

But just as lovely are the blacks and the whites, all have been spotted out in the Pennine garden over the past few days.
