In Cape Town Autumn, unlike in my home country Switzerland, is very subtle. You have to watch out for it other wise you missed it and its winter....due to this most people base seasons around here on the Calender. So on the 1st of April its Autumn- But Autumn like all the other seasons does not keep to calenders- so here are the signs of Cape Autumn:
suddenly the rains start again
the summer flowers are spent
the light becomes softer and the colours brighter
seed pods appear
Salvias and Proteas bloom
and the surest sign of autumn is the oak leaves are falling
but that seems a small eternity back- it is late spring in Cape Town at the moment!
so it looks more like this around here:
