We’re almost at that time of year when light and dark are perfectly balanced before we delve into the winter months of reflection and regeneration. But September’s song isn’t finished yet and her gifts are many. The air already has a thinness about it, heightening the senses. Spiders are busy. The low-slung light gives a richness and depth to the trees and their changing colours as they prepare to disrobe for the winter.
