Autumn' Arrived

 Wwe're now in mid-Autumn and the weather is slowly cooling. Yet most days have recently posted maximum temperatures around 18 or 19 C with skies that are coloured a brilliant blue and and wafted  by gentle breezes. However, deciduous tree foliage is turning brilliantly red, yellow, and purple and putting on a great dispplay. That's simply because overnight temperatures now typically hover around -1 to 1 C and generate light frosts. So some vegetation is now taking its cue, but many bushes and shrubs haven't yet received the message. So we still have blooming roses and dahlias, among many others drawing our attention in the garden..

I took a walk to Armidale's lookout the other day and this is what I saw:




I really do like this time of year, which is especially colourful.
