I FELT AUTUMN IN THE AIR TODAY

 As I was walking Flickr this morning, I noticed a difference in the air.  

It suddenly felt like autumn.

Those first signs always make me feel sad because I know that the darkness is coming.

The short days, the cold wind and the long rainy afternoons...days....weeks. 

No more trips to the beach for me, or swimming.. 

THIS YEAR I never even made it to the beach even though it is 20km away...Sigh..

Foggy Days

September is rolling in slowly. Foggy days are sneaking in after the summer heat. It makes for spectacular moments best enjoyed in solitude and with good music. 

My favourite time of the day has always been very early before sunrise. Maybe because it has turned into a habit now since I've been working as a baker for the last 15 or so years. It only takes 3 weeks to create or get rid of a habit, so you see, so I had enough time to start enjoying this.

I love the emptiness. I love the fact that there is no one else around at this time of the day. It almost feels like the world is all for me. It doesn't matter that it's still dark or there is light as long as I get that fresh undisturbed feeling, the air is so crisp and clean, the music is in my years and my dog is with me. 

Of course I have my camera as well. This is when my mind is most creative. 

What else could I need?!
