Yesterday afternoon I met up with a friend for an evening walk by Kits beach. We arrived at the beach and were instantly chilled by the cool crisp fall air. We made a quick detour to Starbucks where I got a grande ginger green tea, I cradled it as it warmed my hands and we headed back towards the water.
Spring is my favorite season but fall is a close second. The autumn colors, the refreshing quality in the air, the lack of people cluttering up my beach time =) The sun was lowering in the sky and sending out its magnificent gold reflection across the rich blue water. Every time I see this sight it feels like my first...it will never get old. We passed by the the rows and rows of empty logs lining the beach, we passed by the posts that recently held volley ball nets, we passed by runners, we passed by people walking their dogs, eventually we saw a stump that we decided to sit down on. On this stump we were surrounded by tall trees. As I looked out across this land scape I saw all the brilliant browns, golds, yellows, and burgundies of the fallen leaves. The sun's rays were cast sporadically across these leaves, in-between the shadows from the trees they shone. A perfect autumn evening.
