Autumn

Autumn has come suddenly this year, about two weeks ago.

We had a warm and dry autumn followed by a short cold spell, which makes for particularly good autumn colour.

This morning looking out from our dining romm window, the whole garden had a golden hue about it. I hope I managed to capture it.

It's interesting to see that not all trees turn colours at the same time. While the Liquidambar started showing signs of autumn right after the cold spell.

Some of the acers for example Acer Palmatum 'Seiryu' only just started showing their autumn colour. Perhaps because it is growing near the north wall of the house.

And then, there are those just at their peak.

Acer palmatum 'Sunset'

I suspect the leaves will mostly be gone with the next windy day we have, so I try to enjoy them while they last.
