Weekend Street/Reflections

 

I snapped these photos on one of my recent walks through the city centre - proving that the fashion trend this autumn seems to be black, grey, white and beige, and not much else!

Weekend Street/Reflections

Another autumn day of the magic, foggy, still and colourful kind here. I walked into town and ended up snapping around 50 more autumnal photos. As it's Friday and time for Weekend Street/Reflections, I made my selection in this post according to that theme. 

Fog & Summer Leftovers

Sunny one day, wet and foggy the next - that's typical of October as well. A foggy day has its own fascination, though - everything seems kind of muted (colour as well as sound).

(If anyone is wondering what they are doing, they're playing boules - I think.)

The butterfly season is over, I'm afraid, even if there are still a few flowers to be found...

Rhododendron and Azaleas

Such a burst of colour this time of year in our parks and gardens - and cemeteries! The rhododendron and azaleas above all grow in the cemetery close to where I live, where I often go walking.

Our World - Autumn Colours

Autumn is here, and showing its bold colours more and more with every day now...

The Colours of Autumn

Graham recently wrote about Winter (on the Isle of Lewis). Here in south-west Sweden – pretty much on the same latitude on the globe – even if we sometimes get frosty nights already in September, I don’t think of it as winter until the leaves have fallen off the trees, and taken all colour with them. For now, I’m glad to say, we’re still in the full glory of Autumn. Nature’s own fireworks celebration before going into winter rest…

Here’s the tree I see from my kitchen window, Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday this week:

And here are more autumn photos from my recent walkabouts (some wet, some sunny):

Horse chestnuts

Fly agaric, 3rd October

Same fly agaric, 10th October

‘Ölandstok’, Dasiphora fruticosa.
In Sweden, this shrub grows wild on Öland (the island off the east coast that I visited this summer and from where I have been sharing plenty of photos recently). But it is also common in gardens and parks around where I live.
