Oh no!

is this the first sign of Autumn - I havn't finished with Summer yet

[Joyce]

Nice textures and colours

[Rosemary]

I'm ready for Autumn. Had enough of this heat and humidity. Beaut colours and lighting

[Veena Gupta]

Beautiful colours and contrast here.

[Sam]

I'm done with Summer, even though it hasn't been a real one! I saw some changing tree leaves today as well.....! We are getting a week of hot weather coming up now!

[Dione Giorgio]

Very pretty. Love the lighting.

[Penelope Ann]

Surely not! Lovely colour though

[Carole Imes]

Beautiful autumn colors and lighting. You must be down under :-) Here in Florida we have autumn for about 4 months, skipping winter. Spring is on its way as I am seeing more birds and new growth emerging from the trees. Still leaves to rake though!

[Chris K]

@cimes1 thankyou Carole. 4 months of Autumn sound beautiful. Autumn is a lovely season but it means winter is on the way.

[Carl Thomas]

great colours and lighting, and am sorry but after the downright miserable winter weve had, this makes me think spring is on its way...hopefully

[Chris K]

@carlt thanks Carl. I must admit I much prefer our weather no matter what season to what you get in the U.K.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

This is another of the things I love about being a part of this site — seeing the changing of the seasons from all over the world. Signs of spring are a longs ways off for me yet. Beautiful leaf you've found.

[gloria jones]

Lovely light, colors

[Michael Smith]

OMG! Can the snow be far behind?!?!?!?

[Yao RL]

I am on the same boat with you.

[Aleksandr Maksimov]

And I say: "Yes." We have winter. I agree to swap with you for autumn ;)

[Leana Niemand]

Lovely colors.

[Julia]

Already? Nice colours!

[Naomi Epstein]

Beautiful!

[*lynn]

[Robyn]

Lovely colours and light

[Arthur Loosley]

Nice colourful shot, Chris. I am looking forward to Spring!

[Anjali]

Enjoy the colors and atleast you get four seasons there we have only two seasons here summer and monsoons :)

[Call me Joe]

Super fab shot and colors:)

[tingliu]

Our spring is coming!

[Chris Johnson]

Our spring is coming too! Autumn is my fav season so looking forward to your Autumn shots even though you're not ready for it yet. haha. Excellent colors on this leaf!!!

[Chris K]

@lyndemc these leaves are on an ornamental grape vine outside the back door. It covers a pergola that runs the full length of the house and gives us great shade in summer and magnificent red leaves in autumn. Quite a lot of work sweeping leaves but worth the effort

[Chris K]

@cjphoto thanks for your nice comment Chris. shall try to provide you with some Autumn colour when it gets here. 41C for us on Saturday!!

[Chris K]

@liuting looking forward to your Spring pics

@joemuli thankyou muchly Joey. How's your back going

@anjalikoli I missed Spring and autumn when I lived in north queensland

@wordpixman I bet you are Arthur. You will be able to get out more and show us more of your lovely surroundings

@flyrobin @lynnz @naomima @kanelipulla @leananiemand thankyou all very much for commenting

@alessandro I think your winter is just a little bit excessive for me :)

@yaorenliu Autumn is OK but winter is a bit too long

@golder365mjsmith we get snow very rarely here and it is only on some high points and doesnt really last long on the ground. Everyone rushes in their car to see it

@carlt hope spring comes soon for you
