Autumn in Tauranga - It's a leafy subject :-)




I don't know about you but I love this time of year when the greenery around me is changing colours to red, orange, yellow, gold and brown. A couple of weeks ago I found this park area on the way home from a job interview and decided to photograph some close-ups of leaves. I really like seeing the veins and intricate patterns and designs on them - each one is so different.

Beautiful autumn colors. Nothing like those colors in the sub-tropics where I live.

I also love leaves. Good luck with your move - we just moved a few miles a couple of weeks ago, into a smaller house.

Beautiful close-ups of leaves and some lovely big trees.
I have always known that when we have spring, others are enjoying autumn foliage, but seeing it in your photos makes it so much more real.
Enjoy the beauty!

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
