A Cluster of Faerie Wings
When I was a child, I was told by my beloved grandparents that the winged seed pods of English maple trees were translucent faerie wings waiting to be collected by their new owners.
Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour like this Japanese Maple. When I took this photo, it was still mid autumn, and it was a perfect autumnal day in Melbourne: sunny, but not too bright, warm, but not hot, and perfectly still. Therefore I thought I'd go for a walk and take advantage of the sunny conditions and take some photographs. As it was, this is just one of hundreds that I took.
As it is a very wintery and rainy day today, grey and overcast, I thought I would brighten things up with a bit of colour.
