Yesterday, I found myself drawn back to Portmore Reservoir, still carrying the memory of my first encounter with autumn’s vibrant tapestry. As I wandered along the quiet banks, I came upon this trio of silver birch—each tree a living chapter in nature’s unfolding story.

The centre birch stood radiant, its canopy glowing with golden yellows and fiery oranges, a beacon of autumn’s full glory. To its left, a companion nearly bare, its last leaves holding on in a gentle farewell. And to the right, a tree still cloaked in green, only just beginning to yield to the season’s touch.

Standing before them, I was reminded how nature never rushes—each tree embracing change in its own time, each stage beautiful in its own right. There’s a quiet magic in these transitions, a reminder to slow down and notice the subtle shifts all around us.

If you were here beside me, which stage of autumn would speak to you most?

Thank you, it was amazing, especially after the rain stopped
The purple ground cover is such a great contrast to the leaves.
