searchingtoseeAutumn’s still
If you listen carefully you will hear the hushed still of Autumn in the breeze
If you look closely you will see quiet muffled beauty in the closeness
Nature is settling
Falling
Furling
Curling
After the buzzing vivacity of Spring
And the full heady bloom of Summer
Nature is calm and muted
Yielding
Thoughtful
Weary
Winding down
There is a soft, subtle radiance to Autumn. Soothing pastels and rich, warm tones replace vibrant hues. A gentle opalescent shimmering punctuated by
startling instants of vivid colour: the magnificent red of the rosehip, or the garish yellow of lichen, reminding us that life, nature persists. Persevering. Renewing.

incredible work again
thanks!
I keep saying “beautiful” but this really is..I love how these small captured things seem to be folding themselves up for winter, tucking in..building their strength for renewal..
yes me too!
Gorgeous sequence – great rhythm from image to image, like autumn’s slow waltz.
thanks! Looking at them again it almost looks like they are dancing… it was a windy day so I think that comes across
That is wonderful on every level.
thank you!
“Calm and muted” that is this series, perfectly tender. There is such a lovely melancholy here.
thanks that means a lot coming from you as you are the master of macro 🙂
Absolutely beautiful post Emily. The words warm the images, sift, floating furling … so beautiful! 🙂
