Wow Hayward what a love presentaion of the seasons. I am a great admirer of your work and this set is just outstanding. The colours are gorgeous in all of them. I'm not going to pick a favourite because they are all stunning.

Dave.

What a great set of photos Haywood. I never would have thought of taking a picture of a decaying leaf, but look at the colours in it, it really is beautiful. The seasons are changing again, we have jumped straight into summer and it is still winter, usually this time of the year we have southerly winds that make it very cold, however the winds are coming from the north and we are swimming in the pool already.
