on autumn

Autumn is my favourite time of the year.  Even though where I live we don't really have the 'typical' autumn, I still love the sense of winding down that this time of year brings.  Because most of our trees are evergreen it is always exciting to try and spot the trees that do begin to turn orange and lose their leaves.  It's still very hot with daytime temperatures still peaking around 30 degrees.  And yet, when I wake in the morning there is that slight chill in the air that lets me know that cooler days and nights are coming.


This card is from the Arthurian Tarot deck created by John and Caitlin Matthews and illustrated by Miranda Gray.  To me is captures the essence of autumn.
