Autumn sunrise

I don't like taking photos of sunrises and sunsets when buildings are part of the scene.  But on this occasion the rays of the rising sun looked to be blessing my neighbour's home.  I'm probably a bit over- imaginative in saying that.   I should have stepped outside to get a better angle but wasn't suitably dressed.

  The same gentle sunrise was casting soft light on the trees and shrubs at the side of my home.

I'm enjoying our autumnal weather and the colour changes in the trees near me.  

This beauty I see every time I go to my front door in the first photo has just started dropping it's golden leaves.

 And here it is today.  You could probably count the number of leaves still to drop. 

Leaves fall, 

Crimson and gold, 

Nature sheds her bright cloak, 

Preparing for winter’s still breath, 

Silent rest.
