Horse Chestnuts in the sunshine




 




The colours around me as I walked this morning were enhanced and intensified by the September sunshine.The low sun in the sky was both warming and uplifting and so good to feel after the grey clouds covering everything over the last few days.

The Horse Chestnut trees are just beginning to show their autumn colours on some of the leaves nearest the ground. When the production of chlorophyll slows down the lush green fades and the yellow and red pigments are revealed. The colours are quite beautiful to look at and the camera is a wonderful tool for exposing the finer details.

  2. Thank you Ann. I was exploring some autumn colours with the embellisher and ended up with a lovely background felt on which to work. I haven’t used the machine for a while but I will keep it out for future use, such a relaxing process.
