Turning season

I made the comment the other day that we are having a particularly mild Winter and immediately had one of those, "oh dear" moments when I reaslised it was still Autumn. Well maybe, we will and maybe we won't have a cold winter. We just have to wait and see, but I expect it will be rather a cold one, for this part of the world anyway.

For now I will just enjoy the scenes as the seasons turn..........

Autumn Leaves

This was one of those “wow” moments on a recent road trip, when we drove around a corner into a grove of poplar trees, on the road to Die Hoek, near Oudtshoorn, in the Western Cape. The leaves were a blaze of yellow and the wind was gusting through them and whisking them away flurries.
