The Hidden Colours of Autumn
“ When the birds stop singing the first Autumn full moon take on a magical song which manifests the hidden colours of the trees and when they fall the trees go to sleep. “
As Autumn begins nature reveals her artistry. As Chlorophll breaks down the green leaves become more transparent allowing the light to shimmer through its canopy and then allowing yellows and golden hues to emerge. Soon sumptuous golds , glowing oranges , reds and crimsons appear before giving way to earthy browns. Each leaf becomes a living watercolour , with colours blending , shimmering and transforming in the changing light.
