The new Lockdown stole up on me unexpectedly. I hadn’t been watching the ‘r’ number, and it did all seem to happen swiftly. But I guess that’s all part of the exponential curve with which we’ve grown so familiar.
However, sometimes
it is good things which arrive unheralded.
This Autumn
I’ve enjoyed seeing the bright fly agaric toadstools near our home which live
most of the year invisible beneath the soil as hyphae.
Field
maples are scrubby hedgerow trees, but around now their foliage is pure gold.
Spindle
trees are insignificant bushes most of the year, but in Autumn their leaves turn
fiery shades, and they yield fabulous pink berries which split to reveal orange
seeds.
The wild
stinking iris has a drab brown-purple flower, but right now its seed pods are
splitting open and showing off their magnificent scarlet seeds.
So I guess
there are wonderful things out there - we just have to wait for the time to be
right and to keep looking out for them.
