Lens-Artists Challenge #167 – The Colours of Autumn

12 Replies

Here in Ireland the leaves are only just beginning to change – here a horse chestnut tree from last week just changing to its autumn colours.

  • Horse chestnut

The following images are from last autumn. This year we have lots of red haw berries again – they say it is the sign of a hard winter to come.

  • Hawthorn berries

Lime trees turn a wonderful shade of yellow.

  • Lime tree leaves

And I love to watch the larch trees change from my kitchen window.

  • Larch

While the days can be dull and grey the leaves bring a bit of sunshine.

Lens-Artists Challenge #164 – Looking Up/Down

This week we are being encouraged to look up and down. In nature there is much to see above our heads. Like wonderful birds soaring.

  • Gull in flight

But I think I spend more of my time looking down, especially as bees and flowers!!

  • Large carder (Bombus muscorum) bee on common burdock
