Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour like these maple leaves, which are quickly gaining the rich gold, orange and red tones of the season.
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.
This beautiful Maple Tree was draped in a misty morning fog when i first arrived.I took several shots and this one pleased my eye the most though most of the fog had lifted.Springbank Park is a popular place for a walk with your dog first thing in the morning here in London Ontario !

I thought the spring is here, but when opened window blind this morning, wow, it's winter again! This year's new leaves of this maple tree was covered by heavy snow.

An update to my comment yester: my feed seems okay now. I got over 900 views yester vs. 99 views on the day before as some of my friends noticed that the photo was not in their feed.
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
I don't know why this American robin (Turdus migratorius) stood its ground for so long. It sang to me as I repositioned many times around the tree. There is a 'new' downspout nest nearby that it may have been defending its territory.

Hello my friends. I know! I know! it has been a long time but I have not forgotten you. In fact, I missed you! So as the year comes to an end, I thought I would drop by and say hello to you all and see what you have been up to.
As for me, I have recently come back from a trip to Japan. So here is one of the pictures I took there.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
Despite the scorching weather, a number of exemplary trees thrive in our local park, in a mountain town at 750 metres of altitude. The temperatures at this time of year are as high as on the Costa Blanca, over the mountain ridge and downhill 30km+ (easy enough, thanks to the motorway – or the more scenic main road, popular with bikers). However, the humidity isn't as unremitting here and the park is well watered. A good recent example was this sunlit maple tree branch.
Here, the lush, healthy leaves caught the late morning sunlight against a clear sky. In this neck-craning composition, I liked how the leafy branch extended across the frame and most of the leaves had a translucent, almost glowing quality.
For Tree-mendous Tuesday I looked for a different perspective to showcase this maple. The subtle emergence of the new leaves at the base of the tree caught my eye. Sometimes we notice what’s on top more than we notice what’s at the bottom. I gave this image a softer, artsy look with a shallow DOF. It somewhat represents my fuzzy mind right now as I try to find a new perspective to my life going forward.
Who says that winter must be grey and bland? We have been very fortunate here in Melbourne this winter to have quite a few crisp, but beautiful blue sky days, and it was whilst talking a stroll on one of these days that I looked up and saw these last few red autumn leaves hanging on to the almost bare winter branches on this tree. The colours were so eye catching and the shape of the interlacing branches were so beautiful that I had to stop to admire them… and take a photograph of course.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “winter” was chosen by Lisa, red stilletto.
