The autumn rains break and from all around one hears the collective sigh of plant and animal.
The ecology is drinking deeply of this rich pluviam.
There is a softness to this morning, cooling breezes and clear air.
Subtly, the quality of light has changed.
Rich, saturated tones are foremost on land and in the sky.
It is but the start of the great change.
Already though the latency of seed has felt the touch of life giving rain.
Beneath ones feet the dehesa is stirring.
