Nature's Paintbox

Winter feels like it's quickly closing in on us. 

The snowline on the mountains and the colder winds of autumn have returned.  Yesterday, the cold wind caused me to notice that my feet felt cooler in my summer runners.  I wore my headband for the first time today, and my gloves are stowed away in my pocket ready for tomorrow's walk. 

The late summer like feel of a few weeks ago, has vanished.  Also vanishing are the changing leaves.  Each day there are more leaves on the ground.  Two months tomorrow tonight will be Christmas Eve, which is so hard to believe.

For the past two days I've been noticing this lovely tree in someone's yard.  It reminds me of Joseph's Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.  I thought I'd better take a picture of it today because at the rate of falling leaves, there won't be any left to take a picture of! 


Each level on the tree is a different colour.  A pretty farewell show indeed.

Happy Tuesday!
