The bottom is a yellow triangle with a purple segment off centre to the right. Across the bottom is a row of hands in different skin tones, reaching up.

A brown and dark orange leaf hanging by a cobweb. Surrounded with dark green lush leaves. And a strong bokeh in the background framing it.

🍂 Autumn... Seems like an early one this year. Even the blackberries are going to have a quick season.

A swallow busy catching insects and a herd of cattle sunbathing in the background. The grass is full of daisies and buttercups.

One swallow doesn't make a summer?? How about a sunbathing herd of cattle though
