Part of the Homestead Park in York is a formal garden, with beds of flowers with lawn between them. The beds were recently cleared, ready for the next floral display.
It is in the formal garden where I was stood to take this shot, looking towards the trees around the pond, which are giving quite a show of autumn colour at the moment.
The ginkgo tree whose leaves featured in yesterdays post is towards the left of this image. I rather misled you in my notes yesterday - it is classed as endangered in the wild, but is commonly found in urban environments around the world.
The range of different autumn colours in trees is quite impressive, and there are several contrasting autumn colours shown in this shot. The colours of autumn are constantly changing, as different trees change colours at different times, and leaf fall time varies as well. I'm trying to visit the Homestead Park quite regularly to record the ever changing scene.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
The variety of trees, shrubs and flowers in the Homestead Park is quite impressive. There is always something interesting to see there. To see more, put 'homestead park' in this sites search and you will find 82 photos posted as part of our project, and a further 7 posted as part of my solo project in 2012-13.
amazing capture and colours!
did not realize that leaves fall at different times. autumn must be so pretty. Pity, our country only really has evergreen trees - they do not lose leaves
Thank you Nina. There is a conifer in the background in this shot, but most are deciduous and are in the process of loosing their leaves. A few trees are already almost bare.
