MY WORLD ~ 28 The Great Autumn Leaf Hunt 4

This is the last exciting episode of The Great Autumn
Leaf Hunt, enter at own risk to an exposure of a
spectrum of primary and secondary colours.
Please enlarge at least some for the full force of colour.



This is the Bright to Harrietville road, an introduction to
the Autumn Festival in Bright, Victoria.




A Sugar Maple, Acer sacharum in full glory. Near this little
township they have nurseries specialising in trees for
autumn colour



Riverside park at Porepunka with a great path leading
towards the hills in the distance.



Morning frost and rising mist across the road from the
Alpine Park Riverside Cottages where we were staying



the gleaming river reflecting golden willow trees



a little bird that kept me company in the underbrush



the brilliant red of Fraxinus raywoodii, the Claret Ash



a juvenile King Parrot photographed through the fly
screen of our bedroom window

I have hundreds more pictures like these but am

  1. As we were watching two doves at our bird bath this morning, I was relating to my husband the amazing variety of birdlife that you have all around you. I told him it was like something out of a fairy tale. And here I find another post underscoring that thought!! Parrots in the trees....I'll never get over it.

    And is there anything lovlier than a sugar maple???
