Marks and Spencer are using the words Big Autumn Energy as their current call to purchase. September rushes in with a frenzy of activity after the languid, sun soaked days of High Summer, but beyond that moment, I never feel Autumn to be a season of high energy. So Big Autumn Energy is not my vibe. I feel it is the consolidation season after the energy of Spring and Summer. But the word  consolidation is never going to sell anything in Marks and Spencer or any other retailer. But it gives me the chance to use my watercolour of harvested apples to good effect.

A slightly darker energy was created when I overlaid a Red Admiral Butterfly who was basking in the sun yesterday.

She was soaking up sunshine and stored heat, on a stone wall while I gently stalked her, quietly consolidating her autumn.
