LOOKING FOR AUTUMN LEAVES

Autumn is a visual gift given by nature to raise the morale of human beings who are worried as they enter the dark days of winter!

I don’t have much in the way of Autumn Leaves to share from this inner western suburb of Melbourne, although I did visit a public park a couple of times in nearby suburbs back in 2017 when I was still able to use public transport and get around the area more.

I’ve been spoilt by living in streets surrounding the Royal Botanic Gardens over many years where Autumn shows her splendour in dozens of different ways from the tree-lined streets to the actual Royal Botanic Gardens.

Back in May 2013, I seem to have made dozens of images of the colour so here are a few from my archives that you may not have seen on my old nature blog (which I greatly regret closing down now).  There’s a couple of shots from May 2014 also.

I think these were from a tree in the street of the following 3 images.

I lived right next to this tree (and car parked) so the Autumn display was an everyday sight on the walk to work.

The next 4 images were from a vine covering a residential street wall.

Many of you have seen this photo before if you followed my old nature blog. It’s a favourite as it conveys the narrow bluestone cobbled lane and autumn leaves on the way to work or a walk in the Botanic Gardens.

I think this might have been in the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Lots of ‘noise’ or grain in this shot, but I like it all the same.

PEPPERIDGE (Nyssa sylvatica)

I think this shot might have been my attempt to convey the sense of Autumn without too much detail.
