Notice how long the shadows seem in Autumn? Harmony buddha savors the warm fall weather and deep cobalt sky.
“Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you.”- Walt Whitman
Lens flair, great for creating drama. In this case, the effect is natural. The sun’s rays are low this time of year. There’s an element of peace; a warm glow, a shower of sun’s rays. Tranquility, stillness, and silence.
Mosses can be beautiful if you look closely. They can retain a bright green color even through winter. A reminder that nature is still alive, just resting. Common haircap moss is a favorite because it resembles a tiny pine forest.
I delight in the cobalt shade of the sky in the fall. There is a scientific explanation for the brighter color of the sky. Light is scattered differently in the autumn atmosphere. Lower humidity paired with the lower position of the sun means more blue light reaches our eyes.
Who didn’t love to play in the leaves as a kid? That was the best part of raking leaves in the fall (second-best really, the best part was the cash). The long shadows dancing off fallen leaves are likely to be one of the reasons we see spookiness this time of year. We see things move, and our imagination takes flight.
Enjoy the peace and harmony of autumn days. The serenity of falling leaves, and the purity of the air- during the day. For the nights can be creepy…
