It's raining today. Not the measly drizzle we've been having till now, but good solid rain. There is snow on the Canterbury ski fields and the leaves are tumbling off the trees. It is time to get the camera out and take photos of my favourite time of year.
The leaves on the trees outside the library are beautiful. The colours sing against the grey sky and the plants that have been overshadowed by their showy summer neighbours are taking centre stage again. I love plants with red stems, the limbs of trees peeking out from underneath petticoats of leaves, puddle mirrors reflecting the lights of cars and houses. I would like to use my blog to show images of autumn and publish some poems. Anything topical on the day.
I love autumn too. The colours are brilliant. Let's get out the paints and get working.
ReplyDeleteRachel I am loving your blog and your descriptions look forward to seeing your pictures and reading more!
ReplyDeleteAutumn seems to have progressed slowly this year, I guess because we have had very little wind to blow the leaves down. I have a Dahlia imperialis out in the garden, it is the loveliest thing, pale mauve against the grey autumn sky.
