There is a definite transition to autumn going on. The trees are starting to get that attractive green-gold mixture in their foliage. I really like the effect when you just glimpse the gold through curtains of green,
or when one bright coppery branch sweeps across a green background.
The River Wharfe was fringed by golden edges on its banks.
It's a good time of year for fungi. I thought the bracket fungus above, on a rotting log, was rather beautiful, though I have no idea which specific type it is.
Plants are dying back too. I think these (below) are butterbur, which start with weird pink flower spikes and then develop these enormous leaves that shrivel into cup shapes in autumn. Fascinating plants. I think the name came about because the leaves were used at one time to wrap butter to keep it cool.
The sun is getting lower in the sky too, shining its rays through the trees (and shining into my eyes on the drive home!)
Beautifully Autumn photographs, you have captured the first colours of the season.
ReplyDeleteThis are gorgeous! I'd love to cover my office walls with them as posters.
ReplyDeleteYes, you have enough moisture for fungus and moss! The shots here all are so graceful much like the coppery branch flowing across the page/screen.
ReplyDeleteThe change of seasons is upon us. Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteI thought the one with the orange branch was my favorite, then I saw the last picture. Wow!
ReplyDeleteLove the light in the last photo especially, and also that single branch of yellow leaves in No 3.
