Autumn rainbows and dark mornings

I love the fact that our home can be invaded by rainbows in autumn-winter - mid-morning sunshine  reflecting through the edges of glass louvres casting rainbows on the walls. I particularly liked how the refection resulted in a rainbow overlay on one of the paintings on our wall of small things in the office. And the light comes in low into the dining area.

And though I'm not a fan of getting up in the dark I do love the 15 minutes or so before dawn light begins to wash the valley because in that time you get the dark but also the lights of Brisbane - see the lights in the CBD on the right of the horizon.

By the time I started my walk grey light was flowing into the valley.

We have had dry cold days of late so the plants are doing it tough - not a lot on show - a few fragments here and there.

It was a crisp morning - energising.
