Walking into the light...

"I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house". Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Much chillier today - a real feel of autumn in the air. After yesterday's heavy rain the river burst its banks for the first time this season, forcing me to seek an alternative path, gilded with shafts of low sunlight. At this time of year even the mundane is made beautiful.
