Red Leather for Goblin Cobblers
Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour like this Japanese Maple, one of my favourites, which I caught as it is starting to turn one on one of my walks the other week. This leaf puts me in mind of beautiful red patent shoe leather, and reminded me of the faerie tale The Goblin Cobblers (perhaps more commonly known as The Elves and the Shoemaker) by the Brothers Grimm.
The day I took this photo was a lovely and sunny day with bright blue skies, although there was a crispness in the air. I thought I'd go for a walk and take advantage of the sunny conditions, as rain arrived the day after.
