Autumn Is A Hard Time

 

….. to be a smiley face ball.

The Root Of The Problem Is The Roots

…autumnal colours are aglow in the valley….   …but leaves aren’t the only thing falling…. …I was staring out the window admiring a deluge of swirling orange, yellow & brown leaves when I noticed traffic backing up outside the shop….   …one of two “beautification” trees in the ‘hood came down in the same big equinoctial gust that the leaves were enjoying… …I missed getting a shot of it sprawled across the road because a customer (customers!…with their needs & wants…always getting in the way of “art”!) came in as I was rushing out with my camera…   …it would seem that planting trees in confined, concrete edged, tar-seal surrounded flower beds is not great for their root development…       …snap!

Autumn On The Way

…all getting a little chillier down here in the south pacific..

…still getting lovely clear days, but the nights are drawing in…

 

…and despite the fact that this particular display of seasonally appropriate colour is how this tree looks all year round…

 

 

…it is perfect for those autumnal posts…

..at any time of the year.
