Little Brother, Little Sister

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 my walk not so long ago. These two tiny red leaves reminded me of a pair of siblings rather like the pair in the faerie tales by the Brothers Grimm, "Little Brother, Little Sister" or "Hansel and Grethel".

 

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.
