Three days went by between these photos and the ones I posted in my previous post. The colours on the tree had intensified dramatically. The tree had become a visual treat of autumn blaze with some of the lower branches still holding to green. It is easy to sit and enjoy the display being played out in front of our eyes and to wonder at the exact factors which have influenced such drama.

love these
Beautiful autumn foliage… lovely photos.
Thank you.
A pleasure!
All the leaves have gone from my Japanese maple. They went so quickly I hardly had time to enjoy them. I can enjoy yours instead. 🙂
Rapid leaf loss is more the pattern with this tree too but this year it has dominated our eyelines. I am waiting to see what the late Flowering Cherry will do.
