Autumn taking hold

Autumn is well advanced here and the heating has gone on. However there's something wonderful about all the seasons being so virile here. The Summer is hot, the Winter freezing, the Spring suddenly bursts into life overnight, and the Autumn takes colour to a new level of understading.

There's something too about the air in North America that always strikes me. When it is blue it is a beautiful vibrant clear blue, and when the air is fresh it is super fresh.

Maybe it's the enduring optimism in North America that makes it seem so, or maybe it's the air, the colour, the massiveness of nature (even in the city) which causes the optimism. Whatever it is, I wish I could bottle it.
