The Autumn storms have started and bring beautiful cooler days
to enjoy after a very hot and humid summer.
There's a different feeling in the air and the lighting is changing.
I like this change.
I plucked these three beautiful leaves from an ornamental cherry tree in my street.
I love the gentle warmth of their colours and their sharp cut-out edges.
I love all of the four seasons for different reasons
and also love that the Chinese celebrate five seasons:
Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer
and Late Summer.
Behind each of the seasons, there's an elemental energy:
the Five Elements:
Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood
By observing Nature,
we can see these five energies in the world around us
and also see how these same energies are reflected within our own bodies
and personalities.
Late Summer corresponds to the energy of the Earth: Mother Earth.
Maybe that is why I like it so much!
