autumn colour, autumn leaves, autumn trees

As today is the last Sunday of autumn  I thought I’d pull together a little video of this year’s display of trees and their leaves, from the brown and bland to the rosy red and spectacular. Come scuff some leaves with me …

‘Autumn leaves don’t fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar. Reflecting sunlight, they swirled and sailed and fluttered on the wind drafts.’ ~ from Where the crawdads sing, Delia Owens, G. P. Putnam’s Sons, New York, 2018

335/366 In praise of Beech

autumn colour, autumn leaves, beech, British trees

In his ‘Ode to a Nightingale’, Keats wrote of a ‘light-winged Dryad of the trees’ singing of summer in ‘some melodious plot of beechen green’. The beechen green has now become beechen gold and brown, but I can still imagine Dryads singing of the beauty of mighty Beech trees, in all their autumnal finery, and even performing paeans in praise of their statuesque forms once those golden leaves have fallen.

310/366 Geography in a leaf

autumn colour, autumn leaves, Oak leaf

This Oak leaf looks to me like a lesson in geography, maybe a topographical map or perhaps a close view of the earth from a satellite, where the veins are rivers, the green the agricultural fields nurtured by their water, the brown the dry uplands.

I’m not sure what creature had eaten all the holes in this leaf as I couldn’t find the culprit but it certainly must’ve been hungry. I rather like the pretty little artwork it had created.
