Under the Spring Willow

+++

There’s a pub in my neighbourhood.  It has one of the best patio’s in the city.

The best patio!

And, on the first nice day of spring. I was there. Under this willow tree. Which was bursting with green. Spring green. A colour like no other. Against that bright blue sky.

That spring green, that blue sky, that willow tree and sunshine.  All that, and a half pint of Guinness with a good friend, made it the perfect kick off to spring.

Or summer.

I’m not sure which.  But, it was perfect.

Time to unlock the door and enter into autumn and all its beauty…

To autumn’s first day.

The in-between time.

Found this…

Frosted beauty.

This sign of the shift.

From autumn to winter.

The calendar claims it’s autumn, but the days are so short, and the wind has taken all the colour off the trees.  Winter coats, hauled out from basements dark and dry, along with mittens red and striped and warm and made-by-hand – these are the necessary things, the new uniform of life as we prepare for the shift.  As we ready ourselves.   For we are entering the winter-time.

But, not yet.  Not quite.  It’s still just a hint.  A flirt.  A come hither look from winter.

For autumn lingers.  Faded leaves litter the streets.  The earth still warm enough to melt the morning’s frost; the sky not cold enough to let the season’s first perfect flakes of snow last for long.

But, soon, autumn will kiss winter on the cheek and say good bye.  Leaving us behind.  To dance with this new partner.

For now, it is the in-between time, when the two seasons walk down the street together, frost and leaf, hand in hand, leaving a trail of signs of the change that is to come.
