In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by.
Excerpts from Sonnet 73 by William Shakespeare.

Dreaming of spring, although winter is only about to start. The soft light, the subtle colours, the gentle beauty of the petals unfolding to reveal the rebirth of nature.
Despite the longing for spring, I intend to enjoy the remaining days of autumn and the forthcoming winter. 🌱🌸🌺

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
Sonnet 73, William Shakespeare.

Lighting up my surroundings. These Prunus species trees (there are two of them, one behind the other) grace us with pink flowers every spring. Every autumn, they give us these glowing colours. 🌱🌸🍂
