Yesterday I walked along the lane in front of my home, forgetting my step counter and instead stopping every few yards. The rosehips were luminous against the grey sky, the hawthorn berries clustered like they were huddling together. There’s fleece caught on brambles, seedheads holding their shape, apples rotting into the grass.

Autumn as it actually is - apples waiting to be gathered, seed heads holding on, berries ripening, leaves falling where they will. The real abundance that's here when we notice it.
