While all around us people are going batty for pumpkins, I was more excited for something else orange today.
A really pleasant sight met my eyes this morning as the tree at the bottom of my garden transformed overnight into a fantastic firework of orange leaves, meaning Autumn is well underway.
Autumn is one of my favourite seasons as it means Fungi hunts, rutting deer and incredible starling murmurations.
In case I'd forgotten not everything in the world is changing the kestrel I see every morning on my commute was there again peering around on the top of her favourite telephone pole, on the look out for prey.
Autumn is a perfect season to get out and appreciate earth's natural rhythms and changes but sometimes the things you see every day can be just as good.
