Last day of September is almost over. October is indisputable an autumnal month. In September one can still fool oneself that it is still summer – if darker and cooler. October brings realism and sobriety and – autumn.

Here are a few photos from my walks and bikerides during the last days of this year’s September. To the right above you see rose hips – growing on a dog rose bush. It brings fruit at the same time as it still blooms – I find that quite optimistic (see, October, there are still some stubborn optimists around).

This was a beautiful morning (apparently) with warmth in the sun. I’ll really try to get as much light as possible now – it diminishes fast and the evenings come way too soon; a little earlier day by day – an autumn and winter before it is spring again.
