AUTUMN IN BRATISLAVA

 

AUTUMN

The first day of March and summer is

definitely on its way out.

The air is noticeably cooler,

the skies begin each day overcast,

the cardigans have come

out of the wardrobe and

the birds are milling anxiously

around the yard to be fed,

rather than sitting languidly

in the shade avoiding

the glaring sunshine.

I love the colours of the rustling leaves

and the gentle afternoon

sun of Autumn.

Sun makes all the difference.

Or rather: if it does make

all the difference,

everything else is pretty good.

So apparently I'm a-okay.

I wandered out to take some

autumn photos before they're

all stripped away by the sharp

claws of November.

The experience of a bright fall day

cannot be reproduced…
