Eugh! I just always feel despondent in autumn when the leaves change, the exotic birds fly back home leaving our shores, and bird song which is so loud in summer is replaced by the odd chirp here and there. Lifeless trees, lifeless light and gloomy clouds. One reason I absolutely despise winter is that everything is so bare and dead. #fall #autumn #love #nature #photography #instagood #beautiful #Canada #naturephotography #art #instagram #like #beauty #orange #forest #walk #hiking #path #trees #photographer #october #photoshoot #leavesĪ post shared by Dr Anthony Cliffe on at 3:34pm PDT Sorry, I feel I may have needed to get that off my chest.Īutumn walks. Candles are sprinkled with Pumpkin spice, Pumpkin bread, Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Pumpkin! I don’t actually think anyone actually enjoys a Pumpkin spiced anything, they just say they do to look like they’re cool Autumn Hipsters. Pumpkin does not belong in coffee, how dare you tarnish the wonders of that beautiful hot bean juice with that filth! A delicious blueberry muffin is replaced by a Pumpkin Muffin. In recent years and I can only imagine this is the U.K.’s attempt to become more mainstream America (we have kids graduating with cap and gowns now from Nursery now, so why the hell not, next we’ll be buying guns in our supermarkets and blaming video games for mass shootings) that autumn signals retailers to add Pumpkin Spice to ordinary things. They smell horrific when you’re carving them, and they taste as good as they smell. Pumpkins are there to be carved, have a candle shoved inside of it for one night and then disposed of into the compost heap because that’s where these weird orange balls deserve to be. I get it, a critical autumnal event is Halloween and the tradition of pumpkin picking and carving is I admit, a fun thing to do. Which basically means it’s a blessing when you get a sunny day.Ī post shared by Dr Anthony Cliffe on at 11:10am PDT If you’re lucky it might be spiced up with some fog or as they say in Newfoundland, Canada, you’re blessed with a million-dollar day. Sure, I love storms they’re exciting, especially thunderstorms but in autumn the heat and the energy in the atmosphere dissipates, the high pressure forms low pressure and we go from clear blue skies to occasional epic thunderstorms, to an endless conveyor belt off of the Atlantic of cold wind, torrential rain, and endless days of cloud. At least now I don’t look out of place wearing jumpers and gilets, so silver lining I guess! I love the weather, but I suppose you might have already figured that out if my social media posts are anything to go by. I’m the type of person who runs hot to touch, which means I always feel cold, so I dread the colder weather coming in. It makes me feel like I’m trapped in a lightless cardboard box. You get up in the dark and by the time you get home from work, it’s nearly dark. It does my Seasonal Affective Disorder no good at all! The long days of summer, I pine for, the bright blue azure skies and the twilight of what little darkness hours exist in the summer. In at number one is my number one dislike of autumn. Oddly, some of my dislikes have an alter ego side to them and form the basis of some of my likes for this season. You’re wrong, but that’s fine, I can live with that. I’m aware that many of my dislikes for autumn are probably some of your favourite things about it. So here are my four not so favourite things about this season and my, to its credit, four things I do like about this season. So, before you can say pumpkin spice latte, autumn will be here. Beautiful! Autumn, however, don’t get me wrong has its perks, way more than winter does (god I hate winter!) but it’s not as good as spring or summer. Spring is by far my favourite season when everything is warming up, nature is coming alive, and there is an excitement for the summer ahead, the longer days, the hot weather, and days out in the sun. Not that we’ve had a particularly good end to the summer! It’s felt more autumnal in August this year than it does in November! Autumn, or fall, if you like saying words wrong, if I had to rank it, I’d place it at number 3 on my list. Autumn is just around the corner.įor some, autumn brings people joy and cheer, a change in the season, those turning colours of the leaves a welcome sign to usher in the colder weather as a respite from the summer. There is a noticeable coolness to the winds that flow in off the Atlantic now, the first detectable signs of change in the colours of the leaves. The nights are now getting longer, and thus, the days are shorter.
