I suppose I could have started a blog for videos of cute kittens and laughing babies. I could have tried a comedy blog, but really I'm not funny enough. I could have blogged about something very intelligent and abstract to try to get a cultural following.
Somehow all of these seem just hollow. I'm a reality girl myself. I like to talk about what is real and honest. Life sucks sometimes and covering it up with a sticking plaster of casual entertainment just doesn't seem to do justice to how we are feeling. It's like patting someone on the back and saying "You'll soon get over it," when they have just announced that their marriage has ended. Platitudes just won't wash.
However, life is also glorious and unexpected and hilarious sometimes. I'm all for being honest about that too!
I have enjoyed this autumn like no autumn that I can remember. The wet summer followed by a sudden cold snap in October meant that all the trees turned over a few short weeks and it was superb. How I enjoyed photographing it all, and now how I am enjoying painting it too!
