Over the road from Burnbrae (our Blue Mountains garden) the Liquid Ambers have been beautiful for a few weeks now. In my garden Autumn unfolds more slowly. The cherry and small maples are now bright but the big maples in the background have a way to go. I will come back in a week to show you the change.
A poem for today
Autumn is a little melancholy with the fading of summer's exuberance to the cold bareness of winter. Today's poem Sonnet 73 by William Shakespeare reflects on Autumn as a metaphor of life and death.
Oh la! Too gorgeous Joan Elizabeth. It's a bit the same over here, in some spots the autumn colours are stunning whereas in others it still has a way to go 🍁
ReplyDeleteCame back from Kandos today and the garden is getting better and better but I don't think it is going to be a great year because it has been very warm. I will show you a progress shot on Sunday.
DeleteI love Japanese maples and they can be fabulous in autumn.
ReplyDeleteBurnbrae is the perfect house for Japanese maple lovers. The back of the house is embraced by them. Hopefully I can give you a better idea next week when I show you more photos of this garden.
DeleteThe poem describes pretty much how I feel about that time of the year. Even though it´s so colorful...
ReplyDeleteThen it is lucky it is six months before you have to face it again. Enjoy Spring and Summer in the meanwhile.
DeleteLovely fall colours!
ReplyDeleteNice but nothing like the amazing forests of colour seen in your country.
