cold soundless morning
sudden fluttering of air
another leaf falls
Winter has arrived in Melbourne and to counter rising energy bills the very last of the autumn leaves are falling . This beautiful little one has come down from a semi-deciduous Liquid Amber. After weeks of cleaning spouts and raking the ground from the fallout of a giant fully deciduous cousin these leaves can be picked up by hand as they individually set off on their journey . In the image below here they were waiting on for the right time to depart.

I have a Liquid Amber tree in my garden, always an autumn joy.

This tree was planted when our house was built in 1927. (well before my time I must add) The popular housing style then was the Californian Bungalow and usually a Liquid Amber was strategically planted in the front yard. It is a huge and beautiful tree and we don’t even mind the roots under the house cracking the walls at times.
