Simply silver and gold

It's been beautifully sunny here today and it seemed a pity to stay indoors, especially as there'll probably be plenty of days in the winter when we won't want to go out. Lester and I decided we'd go to Kew Gardens. there's always so much to see there and always something different to see. I liked the light on the bark of the Silver Birch and the way the leaf stood out against it.
We haven't been able to access 365 for most of the evening - some glitch on our broadband, probably, according to the oracle - so I'm very late posting :-(

A lovely composition. Very effective.
I am not looking forward to staying in when the weather is bad. Have to set up still life pics.

I love it, nice job getting the falling leaf, that hard to do.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Thank you :-)
@cmansinon Thank you, Carie. I wish I had caught a leaf as it was falling but this one was stilled joined on to the tree.

Lovely pic. I couldn't get 365 either last night. I gave up in the end and had an early night!
