Hello again 😀 Early winter is here and most of the leaves of the deciduous trees have dropped and begun the cycle of decay that will provide nourishment for next year. Whilst walking last weekend I saw these yellow leaves lying among the decaying leaf litter making a striking contrast that caught my eye 🙂
Hello everyone, I trust everyone has had a good week 🙂 The image I am sharing today is of the back of a leaf beautifully lit by the low autumn sunshine. The leaf was lying on a path and the fluffy texture and pattern are what caught my eye initially, the veins reminding me of a tree.
Hello again everyone 🙂  My harvest at work went very well – a good tonnage of very clean fruit which is now in the care of the skilled winery guys.  As you can imagine, I haven’t had a lot of time to take images but I did get to visit Duneira Estate today which is is now in full autumn glory today.  A wonderful site to visit 🙂  This image is a double exposure taken ‘in camera’ of a full transition of autumn colour from green through to red 🙂
Hello again to everyone!  A good harvest is safely in (our earliest ever) and now it seems  autumn may be early – everything is out of step.  I took this image yesterday, the Avenue of Honour in Macedon.  I’ve taken an image of this road before (click for link), last time in spring on my converted Nikon D90 in near infrared.  I may be a week too soon for the colours but still very beautiful 🙂
I live near  Mount Macedon where there are a lot of houses with beautiful gardens (most are more like parks, being acres in size) that were planted in the late 19th Century, landscaped with beautiful northern hemisphere trees and plants.  They are often open to the public in spring and autumn.  Last month I visited one and saw this huge and wonderful old Beech tree, its crown in full autumn glory 🙂
