Autumn Rising (2021)
— At the risk of overstaying the welcome or beating the proverbial pony too hard, here is another juniper view.
Whenever autumn hits (and I use that verb deliberately) it is, at least for me, as if I have entirely forgotten the incredible changes that it brings with it. Let's think about that for a minute.
In temperate climates, which is where I spend most of my time, the year begins looking quite barren. Any colour beyond shades of brown, black or white will be coming from old Christmas trees and other pines. Overall nature looks dead. When spring eventually erupts, wow, there's all that colour! Yet, it's not that colourful compared to what will come. There's the tender light green that screams brand new chlorophyll, but that quite quickly fades into ordinary green. Sure, there will be flowers around, including through much of summer, but those are more specks of paint on an artist's canvas than whole swathes of colour covering entire sections of nature.
This is what happens when that magical change hits our eyes as the mature beauty of Autumn appears. There's a literal transformation of almost everything around us. An alien who visited our planet in such locations twice in a year at winter and then again at autumn could be forgiven for thinking that it wasn't the same place.
