AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

There is an aura of red in the Autumn, the trees ablaze before providing a red and orange carpet on the forest floor. The advent of cooler temperatures we don't relish, but the style of the season we cherish. Happily in the US is is becoming warmer...

Lovely color on the leaves!

These leaves are beautiful, Gemma. I've heard of these trees before - I think they can grow in parts of western Canada where it's a lot warmer than where I live. Lucky them...and you!

Love the shape and color of that leaf and the way you captured it. That leaf looks familiar. Is it the symbol of Canada?
