Most of the trees are now bare, their black branches arch against clear blue skies or are dusted with crystalised frost in the mornings. The leaves lie in deep, brown piles just asking to be jumped into. I hope I never lose that urge to jump in a pile of dry leaves whenever I see them - even if they do occasionally hide sock soaking puddles.
But I've passed some very pretty trees in the last few weeks, so here are a last few of Canberra's finest.
I was actually thinking the exact same thing on my way home from work yesterday! As I was driving through a street full of bare branches, I thought about how sad it was that autumn was coming to an end and the beautiful orangey brown shades were disappearing! I regret not taking more time out to take gorgeous photos like you did. Looks like I'll have to wait until next year for another opportunity!
ReplyDeleteThat said there is something starkly beautiful about bare branches against the sky through Cat. And next thing we know the spring blossom will be out!
DeleteI can't believe Autumn is technically nearly over. It seems like it's barely started here, but then our seasons are completely out of wack. Your tree photos are gorgeous, just exactly what I love about Autumn scenery :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Kari. We really are a country of two very different weather systems at the moment aren't we?
