London was filled with every shade of orange. The paths and pavements coated in crunchy, crispy leaves. The air felt cooler, with days of bright sunshine followed by days of thick fog. Scarves were retrieved from the back of wardrobes, as window displays twinkled with the promise of the arrival of Christmas. The days became shorter, as hot chocolate was brewed and heating turned on for the first time. That was Autumn.
Santiago is alternating between days filled with sunshine and blue sky, teamed with days with more wind in the air, and the need for a thin cardigan. Fragrant flowers are in full bloom, and trees filled with sweet fruit. Sunglasses and sandals are retrieved from the back of wardrobes, as window displays brim with bright clothes with the promise of the arrival of Summer. The days are becoming longer, as ice-cream is eaten and windows are opened. This is Spring.
Apricots, which should be ready to eat within the next month.
The juiciest lemons that we’ve been having with our salad everyday.
These are teeny, tiny grapes which will be full size soon:

I’ve skipped from beautiful Autumn in London to beautiful Spring in Santiago, which feels like Summer to me, as it seems to be getting hotter each day. My Spring photos were taken in Carlos’ mum’s garden, which is just outside of Santiago and is an oasis of colour and fragrance.
Which season are you currently enjoying?
Have a wonderful weekend ahead!

Gorgeous photography! You should enter them in some contest:) I’m enjoying autumn now. It’s a bit foggy and chilly today, but we’ve had a lot of sunshine until recently:)) And they say we’ll have more sunny days ahead:)
Aw, Tanja! Thanks so much for your lovely comment 🙂 Sunshine in Autumn is the best, I love those kind of days!!
I’m supposedly enjoying autumn in Athens, but today the temperature reached 25 degrees Celcius, so I’m not sure!! Lovely photos from both seasons Marcella!
Thank you, Anna! Oh wow, 25 in Autumn – hot!
That must have been so strange to skip from autumn to spring!! Does it take awhile to get used to having different weather associated with different holidays or other events of the year? But hey…. maybe you lucked out in this case 🙂
It doesn’t take long to get used to, especially when you arrive to sun 😉 But, for me I just don’t feel like it is Christmas when it’s boiling hot! Rather, it feels like a fun summer holiday with all of the family!
Ahh this is super cool! You won’t get winter until next year literally, lucky you! haha Glad to see you are having such a beautiful time in Chile!
Yay for no winter until next June, eeek!! 😀 Thanks so much Isabel!
Aw skipping the worst of it I think for both countries!! 🙂 Hope you enjoy the spring and summer in Chile!x
Thanks! Spring is my favourite because sometimes I find the summer toooo hot!! 🙂
Wow all that delicious fruit! I would skip winter every year if I could, haha. Although London is still unseasonably warm, so I’m enjoying coupling that with all the fun of the lead-up to Christmas 🙂
Ditto to that! That’s great 🙂 The lead up to Christmas is oh so exciting too!!
We recently moved from Okinawa, Japan to Georgia in the states. In Okinawa, we barely saw seasons (unless you count hot and hotter)… now, Georgia is starting to get cooler and, although we still missed the leaves changing, it’s been a welcomed transition to cooler weather. Your photos are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Ah wow, what a change! I think I would miss the seasons if I didn’t have them 🙂
I’m not really a fan of autumn cause it’s usually so grey and rainy but those orange leaves are just so gorgeous!!!
I’m not a big fan of grey days either, but I love the bright, crisp days that autumn can bring, especially with the colours of the leaves too 🙂
Haha we went through this too! From eternal summer in Vietnam to winter in England, then fall in Argentina to summer in Montana! We finally get to enjoy a spring!
Oh wow! That’s a lot of skipping the seasons 😉 It’s so fun to experience seasons in a new place though!
I do love autumn, but I would rather be in warmer weather in Santiago! Such gorgeous photos are always… It’s not so much autumn in London now but more drizzly and windy! Thanks for linking up with #MondayEscapes
Sending you some sun! I hear there has been a big temperature drop, boohoo. At least the spirit of Christmas keeps everyone warm 🙂
