We’ve been told here in Melbourne that Winter has arrived early and is staying. brrr. It has been pretty cold and wet of late. But the leaves are still there and falling, quite colourful. Probably won’t be long before the trees are bare.

The Colours of Autumn IV
I loved this pathway when I saw it. Nature’s colours scattered for us to enjoy and remember.
The Colours of Autumn III
Maple trees produce such beautiful colours at this time of year. I’ve planted a couple in my garden but need to plant many more. In the meantime the George Tindale Gardens had plenty on display.
The Colours of Autumn II

Twins in Pink
These are fuschias from my garden. Taken after a rain shower.
Bronze Gazania
A day later and it’s very sunny, beautiful day. Wandering the garden we have many autumn flowers out on show. I liked the single drop of water on the petal of this flower.
Pink flower in the sun
