Autumn

The leaves are falling..... It's windy and stormy. The sun sometimes shines fiercely and then suddenly everything looks more dormant again. Mushrooms shoot out of the ground. Berries twinkle among discoloured leaves. Chestnuts are eagerly picked by children. Spiders do a good job of placing artistic threads everywhere. AUTUMN!!! Autumn colours are everywhere. Brown, orange, yellow, red, gold....... Warm colours, intense earth colours.
