Selective focusing is a useful tool, but it can be improved by a random ray of sunshine. Well, everyone gets lucky sometimes !
Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour like this English Maple which I caught on the turn of changing from summer to autumn livery one sunny early Autumn day in May.
Melbourne has experienced a wonderful Indian summer this year, and as a result, not only are there still plenty of beautiful blooms about, but the Autumnal colours are starting to appear.

Spotted this leaf resting against a decaying log.I thought it well worth photographing.It stood out against the darkness of the forest floor.
Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) are some of the UK’s most outstanding and treasured landscapes. With 46 AONBs covering just under 1/5th of the UK, they offer a wealth of opportunities for both people and wildlife to benefit from our countryside. AONBs are on par with the UK’s National Parks, each AONB is an outstanding landscape whose distinctive character and natural beauty is so precious that it is safeguarded in the national interest.
Do you remember the photo where a mushroom was hidden in autumn leaves?
Well, here we are in the same spot (the mushroom is 2-3 meters in front of us).
Purely by chance, nature has provided this bright yellow maple leaf. And while the mushroom symbolized adaptation, this leaf now represents maladaptation.
Because of its maladaptation, I spotted and photographed the leaf first. I only noticed the mushroom when I was about to continue walking.
Könnt Ihr Euch noch an das Foto erinnern, in dem ein Pilz in Herbstblättern versteckt war ?
Nun, hier sind wir an der selben Stelle (der Pilz befindet sich 2-3 m vor uns uns).
Rein zufällig hat die Natur hier dieses leuchtend gelbe Ahornblatt bereit gestellt. Und während der Pilz ein Symbol für das Angepasste war, zeigt dieses Blatt nun das unangepasste.
Auf Grund seiner Unangepasstheit habe ich das Blatt auch zuerst entdeckt und fotografiert. Der Pilz ist mir erst aufgefallen, als ich im Begriff war weiter zu gehen.
