The Balcony Flowers are done, but I kept some other flowery photos from October to have something colourful in December. This series is going to be much smaller, maybe only a little more than ten photos.

The oak and the birch from across the yard, still very colourful in mid-November. Last night, it snowed a little for the first time, but it didn’t last long and was not particular photogenic – but I wonder when I will be able to take the first proper snow photos! Maybe I’ll dig some out from last year first.

After today’s heavy storm I suspect every last leaf will be gone – this is from November 13th.

It hasn’t snowed here yet, but it may at the end of the week. Until then, more colourful foliage! :-)

Believe it or not, this photo is from today, December 3rd. For some reason this tree does not seem to have gotten the message that it’s supposed to dress down to winter – it has still got mostly green leaves! This didn’t even need help from HDR, the colours are basically real only with a little warm white balance.

It’s already December, but that doesn’t mean that I have to throw the rest of the autumn photos away!

Some more fall foliage from mid-November, looking somewhat moody…

This photo is only five days old – some wine leaves and even some grapes are still left.

More migrating Cranes from the earlier series of photos, this is from November 11th.

I just couldn’t resist these crisp leave piles around at the end of October…
