It is written on the arched sky.. it looks out from every star. It is the poetry of Nature.. it is that which uplifts the spirit within us.

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 weeks. It is now ablaze with beautiful reds, oranges and golds! And all too soon this autumnal ephemera will be gone 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.
Taken on a beautiful October day. The color of the tree is not enhanced, it was actually this gorgeous shade of red!
Thank you for your visits, faves and comments!
A summer's drive brought me upon this path of old ragged maple trees clinging to their existence like soldiers... and beckoning me to do so also... That one encounter altered my current feelings about life and resiliency and gave me renewed hope...

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, so there were only some reds amongst the greens, which made they especially noticeable and attractive.
The day I took this photo was a lovely and sunny day with bright blue skies, one of many we had here in early and mid autumn. Now it is winter here, and very grey and overcast, so I felt a burst of colour was in order for today.
Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour throughout the city, like these maple leaves on a tree in the inner suburb of Fitzroy, which are quickly gaining the rich gold, orange and red tones of the season.
It seems that Melbourne is destined for an early and gloriously colourful autumnal blaze of colour this year, following a shorter and wetter than usual summer. I love this time of year for not only are Autumnal colours are starting to appear, but there are still plenty of beautiful blooms about.

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.
...are slow and sad', a song by Weezer, rock band formed in LA in 1992. (Just watched them virtually in concert)
Actually, all was not sad. I loved walking in the rain yesterday to capture the glowing red maple leaves before they disappear. I've not tampered with the hues. The cloudy, rainy day did everything for me.
I won't post the rest of the shots. I hope to print some to tape to my bathroom mirror to brighten wintry days. So glad most of our trees survived the unusual summer heat.
I think that autumn is often the best season for leaves. Whilst we all enjoy seeing new leaves in spring after the barren season of winter, it is in autumn that we get to notice all the fine veining, delicate textures and sharp edges of the leaves as they change colour and array themselves in their autumnal costumes of reds, browns, oranges and golds.
Autumn is now well and truly with us here in Melbourne, and the cooler winds of seasonal change are blowing away the remnants of summer, like it tosses the red, gold and orange leaves that carpet the ground.
The other day 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. This includes this wonderful golden orange and red English maple leaf which was hanging, just waiting for me to photograph.
Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour like this Japanese Maple, one of my favourites, which I caught as it is starting to turn one on my walk not so long ago. These two tiny red leaves reminded me of a pair of siblings rather like the pair in the faerie tales by the Brothers Grimm, "Little Brother, Little Sister" or "Hansel and Grethel".

Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour like this one which I found in the inner Melbourne suburb of North Fitzroy. This leaf may be a little tattered and torn, but it is still beautiful. It reminded me of the line from the very old children’s nursery rhyme “Hark! Hark! The Dogs Do Bark” which talks about the beggars coming to town, with “some in tags, some in rags and some in velvet gowns”. Which of those do you think this leaf is?

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 weeks. This leaf, hanging on its own, really stood out in nature's spotlight - bright and glorious red!

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!
My husband and I were sitting out on the front porch one evening and mama came along and climbed up in the big maple tree and sort of hung out with us. The tree is huge as you can see by the size of the trunk and very tall but she only went about 5 feet up and directly in front of us. She seemed quite relaxed.
