The changing of the seasons and its ethereal beauty never ceases to ignite joy in my heart. It´s at this time of year that my daily walks on half-island Au take on an autumnal glow.

In walking distance of home, the nearby protected woodland makes for the perfect spot to embrace nature´s healing powers along with nurturing my creative spirit.

Daily walks within this beloved place has enabled me to blend my love for nature and artistic expression – leading me to gather these delicate fallen leaves and turn them into a collage. A visual record of autumn´s natural beauty.

May my post inspire you to enjoy this fleeting season of falling leaves, crisp morning air, vibrantly enriched by nature´s colour palette of tonal browns, yellows, oranges and reds.

Reflecting on my daily morning walks, l feel this quote from childhood favourite Anne of Green Gables fits perfectly – “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers” – L. M. Montgomery.
