Autumn colours

I was inspired today!! I looked out of my window this morning and the recent fresh rains brought out such beautiful Autumn colours! So I took my camera and explored the wet garden. I found the most interesting perspectives and saw my garden in a different light! Lots of colour that I thought I had lost…

The Colour of Autumn

If you look past the mess and obvious work that needs to be done you will find little spots of colour and beauty in my Autumn garden. But, you reee-ally need to look past a lot of debris and fallen leaves to see it. If you love the look of fallen leaves and fading blooms, then you don’t have to look too hard to marvel at the changes that are happening in my garden. And if you go outside at the right time of day … you know, that special time when the sun catches the foliage at that splendid angle … well then you will see lots of beauty and colour in my very messy autumn garden!

Lets see what beauty we can find in the foliage and combinations …

Autumn in Munich; Herbst in München – Looking at my Autumn Post of yesterday motivated my Mom to send me photographs of Autumn in her city, München (Munich) in Germany. My Mom lives in one of the most beautiful cities, in an area called Herzogpark. It is a picturesque, quiet suburb of the City with beautiful tree lined streets, lovely old buildings and wonderful parks and spaces to explore.

Here are the photographs … (you can click to enlarge)
