Dreaming of spring, although winter is only about to start. The soft light, the subtle colours, the gentle beauty of the petals unfolding to reveal the rebirth of nature.
Despite the longing for spring, I intend to enjoy the remaining days of autumn and the forthcoming winter. 🌱🌸🌺

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
Sonnet 73, William Shakespeare.

Lighting up my surroundings. These Prunus species trees (there are two of them, one behind the other) grace us with pink flowers every spring. Every autumn, they give us these glowing colours. 🌱🌸🍂

With the passing of Jane Goodall today, we lost one of the most consequential voices in environmental science and animal behavior. In 2002, she said, “We have found that…there isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom.”
