Default My Bonsai tells me Autunm is here

Hello everyone. Today is officially the first day of Autumn and I was talking to my friend Angeleyes last night and she asked me to go outside and find something to photograph. I was going to do a starshot but it was cloudy and my Bonsai was staring me in the face and said, "hey im here and my leaves are going to fall so take my picture quick" This is the result.
My Bonsai in full Autumn colours.
Thank You Lorraine for the inspiration. I hope you all like it.

Bonsai

Dave.

Love those colors. The black background really sets them off too. Is that an elm? I used to dabble in bonsai years ago, this makes me want to get back into it. Nice shot Dave!

Yeah, that's right Dave, autumn is here, and it comes even before you can notice it. I remember when i was in Milton Keynes last year i did not come out of my place the entire weekend and monday morning i was walking to the office and i thought i was on the wrong road.. with such colorful leaves on the trees the place looked entirely diffrent. Thats teh first time i'd actually seen autumn, it felt a little strange in a way. :P
