The Star of the Show - a photo on Flickriver

            I think that autumn is often the best season for leaves.  Whilst we all enjoy seeing new leaves in spring after the barren season of winter, it is in autumn that we get to notice all the fine veining, delicate textures and sharp edges of the leaves as they change colour and array themselves in their autumnal costumes of reds, browns, oranges and golds.

Autumn is now well and truly with us here in Melbourne, and the cooler winds of seasonal change are blowing away the remnants of summer, like it tosses the red, gold and orange leaves that carpet the ground.

The other day was a perfect autumnal day in Melbourne: sunny, but not too bright, warm, but not hot, and perfectly still.  Therefore I thought I'd go for a walk and take advantage of the sunny conditions and take some photographs.  This includes this wonderful golden orange and red English maple leaf which was hanging, just waiting for me to photograph.
