and a picture of a spray from the same tree, showing the contrast with the underside of the leaves:
The effect of the dewy cobwebs onthe leaves fascinates me:
And I'm also fascinated by the colours and shapes in this plane-tree bark:
Couldn't resist the horse-chestnut:
And I love the light and general mistiness in this one:
And finally a close-up of a passion-flower which I couldn't resist, with its amazing shapes and patterns:
Glorious photos and it reall IS a special time of year !

Wonderful pictures! I also love the autuumn with its colours, but I love also the rainy, cold days, because then I have time to sew.
ReplyDeleteSumac - is there a more gorgeous tree when it goes red? On Friday on the way to work I stood under a sumac and looked up through the glowing leaves to the blue, blue sky -- with half a moon still hanging there, framed by contrails. It was hard to tear away from this magic and get on with the ordinaryness of the workday.
ReplyDeletewow- those sumac leaves are something! thanks for sharing all your fall inspiration!
