Autumnal equinox

The autumnal equinox marks the time of the year when nature makes an offering to us all and explodes with colour and ripeness as it prepares to go to rest.

The seasons’ interpretation of the passing of time has always fascinated me. The completion of one part of a cycle and the beginning of a new phase is never an end, always a beginning.
