The earth revolves slowly on it’s wonky axis, tilting us northern hemispherites and our trees and houses and snails and bicycles further and further away from the sun during the second half of the year.
Shorter days and cooler nights result; and, in response, within the leaves of the tilted trees, amazing colourful chemistry happenings occur.
What a stunning leaf and mellifluous prose to boot!
Please keep them coming!
ps if I spot something lovely, where can I post mine?

That’s a very good question, Jilly.
It would be awesome to have a place for you to post your own lovely Amazingness spottings…and consequently I do have a plan for the future which involves a community Amazingness site where other people can post their own Amazingness discoveries, a bit like this cloud spotters community blog:

In the meantime, you can check out the collection of Amazingness photographs sent to me from people around the world over the last couple of years. It is on my website:

Reading your blog over breakfast this morning has completely put a warm hearty smile on my face. I then spent a while gazing out of my kitchen window watching the falling leaves dance in the wind. A lovely start to the day. Thank you!
Thanks Sarah :)
Watching falling leaves dancing in the wind sounds delightful!
Terrific stuff, Anna. ‘Amazing colourful chemistry happenings’ – lovely turn of phrase. Getting high on autumn leaves.
Thanks Steph. It’s so incredible that a physical movement results in a chemical reaction which then results in a visible colour change. Amazing :)
