Changing Seasons

Our hot Summer days have stepped aside and now the mornings and evenings are decidedly cooler.  With the drop in the temperatures Autumn has arrived,  and the large deciduous trees planted in parks, gardens and along the streets are turning into a riot of colour.

Just across the road from us the green leaves on this large tree are turning yellow and are fluttering down carpeting the lawns and filling up the gutters.

Autumn must be the season for sunflowers as these beauties were standing tall and proud a little further down the street.

And it is the season of plenty in our own backyard with our grapevine laden with fruit.  The visiting birds like to take a share of the grapes for themselves, and the wasps are very partial to a taste as well.  Guess I’ll be making some Grape Jelly very soon.
