The tree of LIFE. Autumn has come and gone faster than I have thought this year. Although many still argue that we do not have 4 seasons, but rather 2, I completely disagree  Johannesburg is the worlds largest man-made forrest so the urban fabric is densely populated with all sorts of beautiful indigenous, but mostly exotic trees. This is the view from my boyfriends apartment. It is magical. I have watched this tree now for the past month, morphologically change from its bright summer green leaves to the burnt amber red in the already dry dusty environment. Its fellow yellow leaves scatter the floor golden, never to be seen again in its life. With this tree I am reminded the beauty of life, and that there is a god out there somewhere... how else could all this happen with no cause? 

Autumn

The first signs of autumn for me is when the Gladiolus's start to bloom together with the crisp golden leaves that start to shed from the giant chestnut tress throughout the city. This to me is bliss, a season of change which should always be welcomed with an open heart. I am going to enjoy every moment of autumn before the landscape does a turn, becoming dry and arid. 

Be Big

life is a crazy messed up thing, but there are beautiful times that come along with it. We just have to remember those and not let the bad 'fuzzy' things get in the way - however, we need to learn from them, and progress forward. Cést la vie.

Yellow Cappuccino

The smell of a great coffee gets the hairs on my neck to rise, and my heart starts to beat a little faster at the anticipation of that aromatic taste of pure bliss... Mmmmm

Magical Autumn Boven

I love this funny, little, old, quaint, stylish house called home!

Dullstroom

There is nothing 'dull' about Dullstroom, its magical autumn bliss with the array of bright and dark oranges! I love this time of year!

Colour

I love the seasons colour change, you will always know its winter by the crispness fresh blue sky...

Leaf

Dried leaves drifting across the sky, evocative of the approaching autumn.

Creepy-crawlies

A rain spider from the last of the summer rains lurks in the shadows of our ceiling fan, which probably is the cause of why I haven't slept well in the past 2 nights... Clearly the both of us are scared - for the coming dry winter months.

Autumn Sunsets

There is nothing I LOVE more than autumn sunsets. There is nothing else like them here on earth - Africa, I love you.
