Autumn colours


One of the more colourful shrubs in my garden.



The acers in the gardens at Alton Towers were pretty stunning.




Virginia creeper crowding a window.


Beech trees in Dovedale Wood; from golden to brown and then adding to the thickening carpet.

    They are indeed lovely colours. The high winds of the recent days seem to have brought a whole season of leaves down adding even more to the normal range of Autumn colours.

    Beautiful photos.

    We don't have the typical "Fall Color" in the desert, just a few plants that turn golden and drop leaves. The ripping citrus give us the most fall colors.
    The Red Bird Of Paradise are blooming everywhere and the Texas Sage or Texas Ranger that blooms from a pale lavender to a deep purple.

    cheers, parsnip

    That window reminds me of a Cambridge College. Glad to see you have maples. Our flag. Of course you know that. Thanks for your Group Activity comment....

    Having just come back from California I was looking forward to seeing the autumn colors here in NYC but the trees haven't begun to change as yet. Your area looks beautiful!

    These Autumn shades are truly spectacular! Each season really does have its own remarkable beauty and presence, none more so than each of the others. What a glorious world we call home.

    The ivy around that window was glorious! My favorite picture of all.

    Love seeing the wonderful shades of reds and russets. Looking out the window here everything is verdant green...sunny and bright!

    Thanks for a beautiful link this week for fall break.

    A+
