Found one!

I have seen lots of autumn tree photos lately on 365. Unfortunately, we don't have many trees in our area which lose their leaves for winter. Today though we were out with our walking group and I spotted this tree. It is almost as rare as rocking horse droppings in our area, but I took a photo of its leaves. There were sprinklers on nearby too, but I managed not to get wet.

[Nicola]

What a find Babs - fabulous colours and even water on the leaves, well done!

[Babs]

@steampowered Thanks Paul. We do get the occasional deciduous tree in our area but they are very few and far between.

[Babs]

@bugsy Thanks for the fav Heather.

[Babs]

@angelat Thanks.

[Babs]

@paulaw Thanks for your kind comments Paula. Dodging sprinklers. the things we do to get a photo!!

[Babs]

@gerry Thanks Gerry. I love autumn leaves, but not raking them up when they have fallen to the ground!

[Babs]

@joluise Thanks Jo. Think how much I have saved you on postage. You can feel a birthday coming on now with the money you have saved!

[Babs]

@elaine55 Thanks Elaine. I love the different colours too.

[Babs]

@marie65 Thanks Marie. You have to go quite a few miles from here to see them usually. This close to the ocean they are very few and far between.

[Babs]

@gypsy6 Apart from on the winter road at Maitland.

[Babs]

@tillycarter Less leaves to rake up though if you don't get them near you either.

[Babs]

@winnedreamer Thanks Nic. Rather the water on the leaves than on me eh!

[Deb]

@onewing Oh yeah. You will have to get up there and photograph that in winter

[Ann Jones]

Such a beautiful capture, the colours are fabulous! I just love that simile, never heard it before - sounds Australian through and through! Fav

[Babs]

@rhos Thanks for the fav Ann. It is nice to see autumn leaves, but luckily because we don't get too many in our area we don't have to rake them up. I suppose the simile must be Australian. another one is 'as rare as hen's teeth'. Australian's do tend to be rather colourful.

This looks really cool Babs. Great photo idea
