The colours of the leaves are so amazing this autumn that I keep finding myself collecting them to bring home
The leaves are beginning to fall, carpeting the ground in rainbow hues (OK they had a little help here)
The weathermen are saying that it has been a perfect year to build up the sugars in the leaves and for the sunny autumn days and cool nights to concentrate the bright red, orange and purple pigments.
The variety of shapes and tones are stunning
With plenty of oak leaves around I couldn’t resist trying a Green Man in autumn colours (but the colours distract and I think he needs to be single shade).
Why leaves change colour in autumn explained by a BBC weatherman
Fabulous and so artistically arranged. It’s tempting me to rush out with the leaf blower and aim it at the tree canopies …..
You are too kind! I thought some of them may have looked slightly OCD.
Not at all, it’s a lovely and fun way to show the spectrum of colours. Maybe the tradition of the Green Man started in a similar way?
It would be nice to think so!
These are stunning, Allison! I esp. love the mandala – it’s gorgeous!
Thank you Eliza. It was all fun.
Wonderful.
Thanks
Beautifully done. Love each arrangement and assortment.
Thanks. It is a compulsion!
Love those!!

Awe So beautiful ♥
Thanks. I appreciate it.
That is beautiful. We don’t get that color change here so I am always impressed by the variety of color.
Thanks. It has been surprisingly dramatic this year. (I am usually impressed by the north american/canadian autumn colours)
Absolutely gorgeous and so creative. I’d forgotten how I used to collect colorful autumn leaves when I was a child (and then be so disappointed when the colors faded in a few days, of course!)
Thank you. I think the fading is why I feel driven to examine the colours close up.
So beautiful! We used to iron them between wax paper, but they were never as nice as when they were on the ground.
That’s a good idea! Someone told me about glycerine, but you are right that it is the fresh fall look that is best.
Love it!
