This morning as I left home I detected that subtle shift in the light that heralds autumn... surely not, I thought, it's still July and we haven't really had summer yet.

Then I noticed the first fallen leaves on the pavememnts.  A closer look into the branches of those trees I passed revealed the first signs of changing colour... to yellow, to gold, to red, to brown...

Soon, soon, it will be be autumn once more...

Soon, soon the season will slide seamlessly, the leaves will fall, the light will change...

Soon, soon, the arirval of another autumn will be my personal herald of hope.
