This morning I was very conscious that the season has changed - the morning was filled with an autumn feel - the colours were strong and yet muted by their backgrounds; and the carpets of leaves and petals told their story.
The day began with a startling yet somber sunrise.

The walk across the front yard showed that the bees were still hard at work creating their stores for winter.

The leaves and petals created intricate shapes, layers and carpets.

Every season a delight.
It always awes me when the seasons in Australia tip in the opposite direction from those in the US. I truly appreciate your photography, which makes the beauty in your world so accessible. Perhaps a companion post is in order (which gives me a perfect excuse to tarry on the floodplain).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful signs of autumn there, signs of spring here - mud!
ReplyDeleteThe micro flower, fringed petals, an earth flag...autumn is my favorite season, crisp air, showers of turning leaves. Born in September, autumn always signals the start of a new year for me, not January.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Barry! Thank you for sharing. The colors of the purple petals against the fallen foliage is an amazing effect.
ReplyDeleteWith each new post, I am repeatedly astounded at the beauty of your photographs!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing them.
Question: are most photos made with the Canon or iPhone?

LA, VA, M, AA & SH - I'm ashamed that you left your comments so long ago and I have only now got around to acknowledging your visit. Acknowledging comments is important to me - I think it is part of the reciprocity of the blog community - part of the relationship and community. Anyway enough of a rave. Thanks. LA - the blog sharing has made me so much more aware of the seasonal experiences ofd others - I love that. VA - glad you are slowly emerging from all that snow - beautiful but cold. M - interesting - the seasons as marked by your personal journey - I like that. AA - such a deep purple - just so many beautiful fragments. JH - glad you have visited and commented and shared. Most often the photos are taken with the iPhone - occasionally with the Canon e.g. moon. All may we continue to be astounded by nature.B
