Autumn

We've had some warm days this week, but daylight saving is well behind us for another year and darkness falls earlier every day. A different collection of birds is visiting: robins, firetails, fairy wrens, lorikeets. We look down on thick morning fogs in the valley and the first frosts appear. Clear, fresh sunny days and days of misty rain. Fungi everywhere. I think Autumn is my favourite time of year in the valley.
