Between your descriptions of Autumn and the joggers dear Sodasoba, and Dee's pics of the penguins....I am in tears again. Incredibly homesick.
The penguins are my heroes.....always have been. Growing up in Phillip Island I saw them often, and interacted with them a few times when I was a kid. We used to sit on the sand (many years ago when there weren't a ton of people to bother them) and they would crawl over our legs and rub/hug us before they went up to the rocks. There is video somewhere, my sister has it in storage.
