The party's over



Balmy autumn days had their last hurrah.
Blue skies bid their farewells.
The sun packed up and headed for northern climes.
Melancholy grey clouds took up residence.
A saturated cold set in.
But as I stood under this tree - just for a moment - I was bathed in the warmest glow of gold.

    Pictures that cool make me think the party is still going on.

    For me, it's heading into the best time of year. Nights cool enough for a quilt, days warm enough for short sleeves, sunshine not too hot, and all the snakes, box jellyfish, dengue fever carrying mosquitoes and cyclones are laying low for six months. Good times ahead ;)

    I do miss autumn, though.
