A massive crumpled leaf on the path - possibly a gunnera leaf - I wonder how it got from the other side of the pond and onto the path.
Red leafy rivers run down the slope under the bare acer.
The prairie plants are thinning, making the paths more obvious. I think this will all be cut down soon.
A few little white flowers with delicate pink. showing pink which only shows when they are closed or partially open.
It was quite dark under the trees although many red orange and gold leaves have fallen now revealing more sky and making the ground a rich mottled colour. It looks as if the gardener has been along here with the leaf blower as most of the paths were fairly clear of leaves.
Just a few little crumpled leaves are left on the little tree that was so bright with colour that it looked like a burning bush not long ago.
White camellias
Seed pods - fairly recently this was a big patch of magenta flowers.
Coppery leaves
Furry bud
Another bud and a large crumpled leaf.
So many shapes and colours.
It's strange when leaves change colour at such different rates on the same plant and you get such a contrast between the reds against the greens.
Gorgeous red "liquid amber" leaf.
Tiny deep burgundy leaves.
As I was nearing the gate the grey sky turned blue and the sun came out on a squirrel having a picnic up a tree.
A bird settled nearby and surveyed the area. The sun made the birch leaves shine.
Sunlight on golden leaves.
Last look at the pond before heading off to the dentist to have my front tooth repaired.
Thank you very much for joining me.
