Differences

Having gone through my picture archive, I came across a number of pairs - images taken during this year. And so, here they come...

Spring and autumn, the awakening and sleepiness of two seasons.

One flourishing, full of colours and liveliness, the other cut down, missing branches and flowerbeds.

Either way, I enjoy my walk past this bush-tree and its surroundings.

One week is all it takes to develop into a bright beauty.

Can you feel the difference in temperature here? One of these pictures was taken on a sunny autumn day whereas the other was captured on a cloudy chilly day.

Which one is which?

Summer and autumn at the same spot.

Close-up or a distance shot, one can (yet again) feel the difference in atmosphere here. Just a quick look on one picture and a lovely warmth enters your bones when the other has chilliness underlining the visual experience.

All I expect now is for the tree to shed its leaves and the foreground disappearing.



However, this step will take us too far. This will take us to winter and for this I do not mind to wait for a bit longer. I am sure that autumn has still a lot to offer. So just wait and see and enjoy the differences. Kx

Another sunny day

As mentioned in 'Green to red to yellow to brown' I am about to bore you with more autumn images. This week we have been quite lucky with the weather. Even though it has turned chilly it is also sunny adding a touch a crispiness to the scene all around.


I have already talked about colours this season creates. And again, these pictures only confirm what I have written so far about tones of green, yellow, brown, even red.

How can one tree end up so colourful?, I wonder. I went past this tree one morning and even though I was in a bit of a hurry, I just knew I would have to share this with you.

There is so much colour around this season, don't you think?

Therefore, indulge yourself in whatever nature has on offer this time of a year. Bellow are just two photographs taken on another sunny day this week.

Berries hiding inside a colourful tree crown; 

the juxtaposition of three colours that hold such a contrast to the whole visual experience.

Can you feel the crispiness coming from these images? Taken on a sunny day in a time when nature is in its most challenging mood, one can only admire its power. Power of beauty that is. Kx.
