Red Velvet

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. In late autumn, when I took this photo, it suddenly changed colour, going from green to rich velvety reds like this leaf, very quickly. All too soon it was ablaze with the last of its beautiful reds, oranges and golds.

 

The day I took this photo was a lovely and sunny autumnal day with bright blue skies, and was more spring like than autumn!
