Happy Autumn Equinox everyone! It is in recent years, my favorite day of the year. This morning the equinox occurred at 7:21 in the morning, and I planned to get to my secret knitting spot on one of my trails, overlooking a vineyard and hazy Mt Diablo in the distance, only about a ten-minute walk from my door at the most. Here are some more photos of our little early morning walk out to greet the new season…
Emma enjoyed the scent of the fresh wildlife tracks from the night, and I enjoyed the brilliant angled light fuzzing through the trees. We then reached our secret spot on time, about 7:20, here standing on the big stump of a very large fir, gives a wonderful vantage point of the area we live in.
The light at sunrise had an amber glow and the air is cool. I thoroughly love this little loop in the woods next to my house, at first light. Tomorrow and often in the days following, I think I will come here to greet the sunrise and feel Autumn’s transitory beauty. Perhaps a thermos of tea and sit on the stump here, knit, and thoroughly enjoy the season as the leaves slowly turn.
I also have a little new knitting going on, but I won’t give details for another week or so…
Enjoy your first-day-of-Autumn and happy knitting!
Awww, Emma looks so happy to be out in the cool weather. Hopefully you got a little sleep last night considering all that WIND!! Good Grief! Ok Autumn, we get it, you’re here!
LOL…love it!!! Yeah, the wind… can you believe it drives Emma crrrrazy, and she is up and pacing (around the bedroom) and tries to go through the doors and wants ultimately to get outside (in it?) … right. German Shepherd thinking…. gonna go watch that wind and make sure there’s nothing shifty goin’ on! Grrrrrr!!!
Lovely pictures.
