Today we are launching the 2026 Autumn spotting festival. It is a dedicated space to share seasonal joy.
This discussion is a space to connect with others during the cooler and darker evenings through a shared appreciation for seasonal crafts, recipes, and hobbies. You are welcome to share:
To help you get involved in the discussion, here is a snapshot of what was posted in the 2025 Autumn spotting chat. Thank you to everyone who got involved. We hope you will enjoy the seasonal posts again this year.

Poem from CaraCara:
“September’s Gentle Flow
Leaves fall softly on the forest floor,
Whispering stories of what came before.
Light filters gently through ambered trees,
And dances along the path with ease.
The wind bends branches but does not break,
A lesson in resilience for your own sake.
Rivers hum under skies wide and clear,
Carrying whispers of hope for those who hear.
Every step you take, every breath you claim,
Adds to the quiet strength that cannot wane.
Even in change, even in the unseen,
There is beauty, patience, and moments between.
Step lightly, breathe fully, embrace the calm,
And let nature’s rhythm be your balm.
September moves onward, tender and bright,
Guiding your heart with gentle, steady light.
With love and solidarity,
CaraCara”
