Hello everyone,
How have you all been?

Here in Busan, the weather has taken quite an unexpected turn — it suddenly feels like early winter.
Maybe that’s why the trees, along with all of nature, seem to be changing their clothes right now. 🤣

Isn’t the sky wonderfully blue today?
When I gaze up at it without much thought, it feels as though someone has brushed layers of blue paint here and there across the heavens.
And that wide-open view in the distance gives my heart the same sense of openness — a refreshing clarity that clears my mind. Haha.

Along with the blue sky, the gentle flow of the quiet river and the chirping of birds let me feel the essence of autumn once more.

Clear blue sky and green nature


Amid the fierce wind, I find the soft white reeds dancing freely, drifting wherever the breeze may take them.
They seem to mirror the way we live — not bound to a single path, but constantly moving, changing, becoming.
Such a life, I think, holds a quiet kind of beauty.

As I kept walking, I came across a rather curious plant.
Its color was a vivid yellow, yet it wasn’t something I had seen often, quite an uncommon sight.
The plant looked so attractive , its yellow hue like autumn leaves, as if whispering that the season had truly arrived.
Out of curiosity, I looked it up and found that it is called Canadian Aster.
How fascinating! 🫡

The last visitors I met were a family of ducks.
They usually spend their summers elsewhere, then begin to gather near the lower reaches of the Nakdong River as autumn arrives.
This year, just like every other, they have returned once again to the river.
It feels so good to see these familiar faces.
How have you all been, my dear ducks?
Stay healthy and well, always!

How did you enjoy today’s story and photos?
These days, the temperature difference between day and night has grown quite large here in Korea, especially in Busan.
Please take good care of your health, everyone.
I hope to see you again soon with another heartfelt piece of writing.
Thank you so much for reading this long post, and I wish you a wonderful, happy day!
