Autumn leaf

 It's drizzling, cold and a grey sky today.

From my bedroom window I can see this leaf in heart shape, slowly changing colors.

I mostly don't like saying goodbye to summer, but there is no return.
I think this heart shape is a lovely symbol for the coming season, telling me to enjoy and love this.

 Birds are so smart... Is he hiding in plain sight?

Find the robin!

 

Roses

                               

                                   

I noticed that one of my roses, had blossomed again!

This is  gorgeous rose...the colors the fragrance is exactly how I love it! I put the rose in a vase to be able to enjoy it during the day. 

I noticed that a crawly creature had delighted in the leaves and wrote a song in them.

Twirling in the wind.

Some more floating frozen leaves in the pond.

Autumn has left and Winter has announced its coming for a while.
This week its marks and signs are proof that he has made his entrance.

Leaves, leaving

Loads and loads of leaves have fallen from my beech tree.
I tried to blow them into a pile for the container.
However there are still lots and lots on the tree.

Hole-cutter

I've been intrigued by finding out that there lives a Hole-cutter in my garden.
Everywhere I look he has cut some holes in the leaves in various shapes and forms.
He seems to like only the soft greens and not so much the more crusty hard nerve of the leaves.
Like I loved to eat the bread and leave the crusts on my plate.
I love his artistic forms in all variations

Twirling

Twirling, swirling leaf...

Flying leaves

A little rush of wind,
makes flying leaves everywhere.

Spring, springing

The beech is unfolding.

On one place of the tree, (at the bottom) the buds are thick and about to open up..
At half way up, the leaves are unfolding.
And more higher, the blossoms are coming out!

Great sight, seeing spring, springing open.

Hedge Sparrow

Under the feeding table, almost invisible is the Hedge Sparrow(Prunella modularis), Heggemus, looking for crumbs that have fallen under the table between the leaves.
