Capture The Season – Fall

The days are getting shorter as summer wanes. Have you noticed it?
I like the new angles the sunlight displays as it moves back northward.
Each day is a new day as I open the blind in my office. The sun casts its presence across my desk in significantly different patterns, making every day magical and different.
It’s quite inspiring when you notice these subtle changes in nature.
Even in Florida, where the midday temperatures still hover near 90 degrees Fahrenheit, there’s a sense of fall in the air. Beyond the changes in light, what was once lush and green is now fading, as though spent from summer’s rush to vitality.
If you’re feeling stale, pay attention to what nurtures you. Every day is different even when it seems like same old, same old.
Collect a list of these seasonal changes in your journal of the daily changes that are purely nature’s changes. Expand the lists into mini-vignettes. Later, these recordings may serve you in a story or setting detail.
Now you go… what will you write today? How is the fall season special to you?
