Decided to break my #ToniCatchUpThread into a few separate more manageable threads. This first one is some highlights from my #Autumn2023.

After my Dad died, but before the funeral, I already had a caravan holiday in Blair Athol booked for my sister-in-law's 40th birthday. I was mourning and obviously in shock and waves of sadness affected the mood of the trip, but I still managed to have fun.

On the way home from work, I got off the train a stop earlier to check on Shimizu Inari, a small local shrine. In late autumn, they usually light up the colorful leaves at night, and I was able to capture a few photos. iPhone 15 Pro, unedited straight out of camera. Third photo looks brighter due to shooting in “night mode”.
