Yellow Days - the colours of Autumn in our Canberra garden

 

This is the last month of Autumn for 2011 and today was a beautiful sunny, blue-sky, no wind kind of day. The trees in our front yard have reached the peak of their colours; from now on they will lose their leaves very quickly and in a week or so their branches will be bare.

So I armed myself with my camera (Sony DSC 717) and ventured into the shrubbery, accompanied by several birds who were plucking the last of the fruit off the Crab-apple tree.

Above is a YouTube montage of those shots set to "Yellow Days", chosen because I thought it was an appropriate piece to use.
