Sunlight on the grapes.
Tiny white waxy flowers
Only a couple of leaves left on the magnolia but new buds are already showing.
Golden light
A couple of blustery nights have stripped most of the leaves from the deciduous trees.
Hardly any leaves are left on the acers that were so red only a couple of days ago.
Just a few crumpled leaves here and there.
A carpet of red leaves under the bare branchesof the smaller acer.
Tiny winged seeds on the bigger acer.
A splash of sunlight illuminating golden leaves.
Another dark red acer.
Carpet of gold.
Trees almost bare.
Spindle berries.
The mistletoe is more visible now the surrounding leaves have fallen off.
This is the tree that I was photographing the other day - the one with a name label underneath that I couldn't read.
The sun was shining in exactly the right direction to show up the letters on the name label. Liquid Amber (Styraciflua) - what a beautiful name for a beautiful tree. It is one of the last trees to lose its leaves.
The colour is amazing
The gardener was somewhere nearby.
Back to the pond and the rippling reflections.
Thank you very much for joining me.
what another glorious day - love the blue sky! The Liquid Amber tree is really fabulous.
