September

Yesterday I saw a leaf, just one, drift past me as I walked.
It fell to earth, still green, but dry-looking and slightly wrinkled.
An omen of autumn; for while the sun is still bright, it is low in the sky
And it has lost the heat of summer.

Despite the dampness of the summer, leaves still to be falling early - in July in some places.

Hi Anne .. the drought has affected the leaf fall - and now we're into soggy mood - the storms will have battered much ...

Training up to London - there were lots of fallen leaves in the woods around the train line ..

Cheers Hilary
