Autumn colour in the garden

I'd forgotten that I'd taken these photos of my garden a week or so ago on a sunny autumn day. I have two dark leafed Acers on either side of my garden, both grown from small plants. The one on left as you look down the garden is in full sun and so changes colour first (and loses its leaves first).













It looks great with the sun glowing through it.

















When I look in the garden today the ground beneath the Acer is carpeted in the dark red leaves.

  1. You can really see the difference in size between the Acers in this post and the Acers in your header photograph - they have really doubled in size haven't they.

  2. I love Acers. We had to dig one out of the garden unfortunately but we've still got one and it looks beautiful at the moment. I love how you have an acer on each side of the garden. Looks lovely.

  3. Hi Elaine, yes hadn't realised the difference in size until you pointed it out!

    Hi Wellywoman,Yes am a bit worried that they might get a bit too big but they are fabulous at the moment so I'm making the most of them.

  4. They're lovely trees which add some much welcome colour to a garden at this time of year. Flighty xx
