An Autumnal Star
Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour like this Japanese Maple, one of my favourites, which I have been visiting regularly on my walks over the last few months. At the beginning of winter it was ablaze with the last of its beautiful reds, oranges and golds, like this lone autumnal star. All too soon however, this autumnal beauty along with all the colourful leaf ephemera was blown away by winter until next year.
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.
