Autumn in Hill End

There aren't many leaves left on the deciduous trees in the village any more but here are some pictures from when they were on.

Great pics, as always. I like the fourth one especially, and Pip looking at the chook lol.

Thankyou.
The chooks don't seem bothered at all.
Pip just looks, doesn't bark at them at all. He barks at the geese occasionally when they're flapping and splashing about in the pool.

Oh, the pictures are lovely. Makes me eager for Fall. Summer is my least favorite season. And, OMG, your cat looks exactly like my cat, Seamus.

I hate summer. At least summer where we live now is much shorter and is between 5 to 10° cooler and much dryer. It still got up over 40°C this year but it was only for a couple of days and it was cooling off at night most days which is something it never did up in the Hunter Valley.

Heee. There seem to be a lot out there that look like him. Though now he's getting older and a bit saggy in the tummy he's a bit different.

such pretty colors! I really like the photo of the fire, especially the symmetry of it.

Thankyou.
It's the first year we've lived anywhere with a decent amount of deciduous trees. I wish I'd taken more photos before they all dropped.

I love the fire one. Most of or logs weren't that big. I loved the way it was framed. Ruth said it looked like a phoenix being born.

what camera do you use?
The colours and sharpness of the photos is just amazing.

I have a 6 year old Konica-Minolta Dynax 5D. I bought it just as Konica-Minolta was being bought out by Sony
