Le Petite Blog: October 2020

October is here and misty mornings and so many changes to see. I love the light at this time of year and all the special effects that nature does. It is lovely to sit back and see it all.

I took this picture one evening when I was checking my mail box at the front door. It was like a whole micro story. Maybe called 'leaf float'. What we're looking at is a spiders web, draped over some garden pebbles, the web is invisible. Then the water droplets have been caught on it like a net. The web is strong enough to hold the water in their individual droplet, which I think is amazing. In all of this the leaf has landed and been 'caught' invisibly and there you go. Super scene

To some a half dead leaf but I saw the most amazing vivid dark rich pink velvet leaf. Just stopped me. Talk about nature being bright!

And this one with pronounced veins right next to it. Kinda ying and yang

The setting sun on an amazing day

This of course is a tree literally shedding it's leaves. Really something when you see how many leaves come off one tree

Oh and rain drops on flowers

This is the effect most often I like to capture in Autumn. The contrast of the leaves and the dark branches because of the rain. Really something

Frosty mornings and leaf carpets

This was a glowing tree one morning

This tree has so many leaves left on but look at the floor! Wow, what 20 leaf bags I recon

This is a favorite, the flame bush

and more abandoned sofas. You actually start to feel sorry for the rejected furniture

Sunshine on leaves

ooh cobwebs in the morning

This is a lamp post covered in ivy. I couldn't get the colours to show but I rather like how this is dramatic

Spongeey plant. I've no idea what it is but I thought that it was definitely worth taking a snap of it

The autumn glory and this tree has so many different colours in it

There are berries and abundance of feeding for the birds

This tree was so vibrant and this was first thing in the morning the sun just up

The leaves are just every where and the colours so vivid

It is such an interesting thing that trees do, that switching off the photosynthesis. So does that mean they are this colour all the time? I think maybe they are

Stripey tree. It's like a complete autumn show in one tree

This yellow maple is delightful and I know the spots might look weird. I like them, dramatic flair

Grasses are also a favorite

Ah hello sock monkey

And interesting painting in town on the back alley doors

All the way along this alley they have been busy with the paint

Even on the slidey door

But these are pretty cool. Maybe I need a painted garage door thingey

perfect leaf

This shows you the range of colour this plant will do. This is flame bush and just one leaf turned so far

Oh and housing types in Waterloo

They are very cue and fairytale

This always reminds me of the Cornish Riviera era

Caught this for you!

and I'll do some paper shredding for you as well

See!

Oh the lions all together

We had a picnic in Southampton and what a lovely day that was

Silly pictures

I didn't know that Louie is so much taller than me. Wow!

Lots of that

and bench sitting

It was quite windy and my fellow photographer was wondering what I was doing....

This one knows the drill. Look off to the distance and mum will leave you alone

Love the line of clouds

Properly breezy

They have canons here....must be expecting someone

Now this photo was as the sun was rising and hitting this new building. Making it look gold. It is in fact black and white! I also like the light squares on the lower part of the building. They are actually just the light reflecting off them
