I'm not sure why I waited to photograph this Acer in our garden until it was past it's Autumn best. The bike belonged to my Mum, who toured on it, with my Dad, for very many miles over many years. Our garden bike collection started with @shephermanswife's Gran's bike, now behind the Acer, which she used for carrying shopping well into her 90's. We couldn't bring ourselves to scrap it after she died, instead growing shrubs over and around it. My Dad's bike is also amongst the shrubs.
