Colour

I managed to get out for two walks this weekend - one on Saturday that yielded yesterdays Future Fossil, and one on Sunday around the Botanic Gardens in Melbourne.

Both walks were in perfect autumn weather - clear blue skies, crystal clear air and temperatures in the high teens - what more could you ask for.

This was the first weekend when the autumn colours were to the fore.  None of these pictures are of native plants, but I can forgive them this for the colour they bring.

And another thing I like, is that if it is autumn with me, it must be spring for many of the people who visit this blog - it seems you have had a long winter!




You can find more shots from around the world at Our World Tuesday.  SM

    I love fall colors, but having had that long, cold winter you referred to, I am glad it is your fall colors I am looking at. Beautiful pictures Stewart and still more color that we have here. It is rainy and still very brouwn outside ... Spring wears many cloaks and this years will not win any prizes from me. Have a wonderful week ...

    Fall is my favorite time of year. And yes, it's supposed to be spring here, the optimum word being "supposed". We had 32 degrees again this morning. Such a cold spring for us! No blooms yet.

    It's so much fun to see the Autumn colors from your side of the world while enjoying the Spring from over here. (And here in Florida ... it is just summer. Pretty much all the time.)

    So strange to be looking a fall colored leaves when I'm waiting for spring colored leaves to make their full appearance.

    Nice colors! Yes, we are getting spring colors, while you are getting fall colors. Both seasons are equally beautiful.

    Fall is a favorite time for me also. Spring is here and we did have one day of cold this weekend. The weather predictions is that in about 4 days it will be in the 80-90's! Beautiful shots Stewart, enjoy!

    I tend to forget that our seasons are opposite. We are indeed coming out of a long winter. Beautiful fall color there, though!

    Great shots of the Autumn foliage in the Botanical Gardens. We are still having quite warmish weather here for late Autumn.

    I'm on the other side of the planet so it's spring here, but autumn color is my favorite. Your photos are beautiful.

    Ya think the color is our reward for weathering the heat of summer?

    Nice, tight shots.
