Little Ray of Sunshine

Isn't the autumn sun nice? That last little gasp of warmth before winter comes along. This is a little patch of greenery I go through when I take the dog for a walk. It cheers me up to get out in the sunshine. There are days when I realise I've barely been outside all day. I've been in the office writing or doing housework or transporting children to an assortment of activities. I have make myself get outside to feel the sun on my face. It makes the rest of my day better. 

It's smoky outside today because they've been burning off around Sydney so we had a short walk. That's a another feature of Autumn. The smoke hangs around in the Sydney Basin, in the morning it looks like fog in the backyard but the smell of smoke lingers when there's no wind to move it on. A reminder that we might be going into winter but summer will come again and maybe bushfires. Until then: Autumn sun feels great.
