  1. I forgot it is autumn over there, as we are coming into our Spring/Summer months. Autumn is my favourite season. I love to feel the leaves underfoot (or under Alfie’s wheels, in my case) crunching below me. Autumn is the closure of that part of a tree’s life, but it will spring back into life again next season. Love, Ellie Xox xox 🌳

      1. From your gorgeous photo, autumn certainly looks beautiful out there in Victoria. It would be lovely to come and experience it with you first-hand. You never know what the future holds – I hope to be able to visit one day. Currently, my funds are extremely stretched due to having to have another tooth taken out privately (unfortunately) because of the medication I’m on for osteoporosis, which, as we’ve discussed, means that my HNS dentist can’t touch it. I’m looking at a bill of over £1,000, would you believe!? I may write a post about that, although it’s not a very interesting or enthralling topic to write about. With my love, Ellie Xox xox

      2. Dear David and Ellie,

        Since all of us have such a fine musical taste and appreciated the English version of “Autumn Leaves”, I would like to inform you that I have featured some of the best songs, poems and festivals for the autumn season in one of my posts entitled “🌤️🌾 A September to Remember: Greeting Post-Pandemic and Post-Elizabethan Age 👑🏰 with Sapphires, Asters, Poems and Songs 💎🌼📜🎶“, which also mentions and features the late Queen Elizabeth II in a special way. For your convenience, the link is:

        Please enjoy it to your heart’s content.

      3. Dear David,

        Which K-W SoundEagle site are you referring to? When you submit comment(s) there, then I shall know which site.

        By the way, apart from your limerick that you submitted for the 📜 Collaborative Poetry Challenge ✍🏻, there are now four other poems being featured at

        📈🌆 Growing Humanity with Artificial Intelligence: A Sociotechnological Petri Dish with Latent Threats, Existential Risks and Challenging Prospects 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🤖🧫☣️

        Your limerick is now in very good company!

        Yours sincerely,

      4. Dear David,

        I see. You can see one of my best videos in the following post. Make sure that you view it in full-screen mode.

        🎴 If My Name Were Moon Tonight… 🌛🌝🎑🈷 with Clair de Lune 🌕

        As usual, in order to see all of the animations there, please make sure that you view the post on my website and not via the WordPress Reader. May you enjoy to your heart’s content the mixed-media offering of “If My Name Were Moon Tonight…” and its beautifully rendered Music Animation with Dynamic Visualization on the big high-resolution screen of your desktop or laptop computer. Switch the video playback to full-screen mode with a resolution of 1920 by 1080. The animation starts calmly and will gradually climax.

        There is also the opportunity to savour my own rendition of “Clair de Lune” recorded on the organ.

        Yours sincerely,

      5. Dear Ellie,

        When you visit my website, it is preferrable or even essential to use a desktop or laptop computer with a large screen to view the said post, as the limitations of iPad, iPhone, tablet or other portable devices frequently result in very unsatisfactory and highly problematic handling of the complexities of the contents of the post, thus severely curtailing readability and distorting intricate formats.

        May you and David have a lovely weekend!

        Yours sincerely,

      6. Dear SoundEagle. Thank you for letting me know this. Fortunately, I always use a laptop, as I know what you mean about viewing posts via an iPhone or tablet. I look forward to visiting your website very soon. Many thanks for your good wishes for the weekend to David and me. I hope your weekend is a good one, too. X 😊

      7. Dear Ellie,

        You are very welcome! If you also happened to be an audiophile and connoisseur of fine sonic art, then you would be pleased by the availability of a fair amount of music on my blog, much of which comprises my musical compositions. These constitute only a fraction of my total musical output, as I have yet to find time to showcase the rest of my compositions on my blog. Moreover, those published compositions are by no means representative of my musical oeuvres, which are very diverse. Hence, you might wish to turn on your finest speakers or headphones, as some of my posts and pages will be playing music to you automatically.

        Wishing you a productive weekend doing or enjoying whatever that satisfies you the most!

        Yours sincerely,
        SoundEagle

      8. Dear Ellie,

        I wonder whether you know that David and three other bloggers have recently completed the 📜 Collaborative Poetry Challenge ✍🏻 featured in my latest post metaphorically entitled “📈🌆 Growing Humanity with Artificial Intelligence: A Sociotechnological Petri Dish with Latent Threats, Existential Risks and Challenging Prospects 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🤖🧫☣️“. David’s entry for the said Challenge is an excellent limerick. For your convenience, the post is available at

    1. Dear David,

      I would like to acknowledge Ellie with “Autumn Leaves” by the American songwriter Johnny Mercer in 1947.

      The following version was sung by Nat King Cole. It is indeed a very nostalgic song. I hope that you and Daisy like it.

      Thank you for composing this latest post of yours entitled “Counting on the leaves” as we enjoy the second month of autumn in the southern hemisphere.

      Wishing you and Ellie a productive April and a wonderful weekend doing or enjoying whatever that satisfies you the most, whether intellectually, artistically, physically or spiritually!

      Yours sincerely,
