patterns of fall

Things I love about fall:
the colors and the patterns (and sometimes the rain ;-)).
I think this year I've missed the colors,
since I've been no where that much.
Uuhm, to be honest..
I often forgot to take my camera with me.

Yesterday I enjoyed these patterns AND
I have my camera with me :-)

sweet break

I was busy taking photos these two days.
I'm not sure, if they're good enough
for the shop (Oh yes, I'm a perfectionist!! *sigh*).
So, I need a break to get a distance
from that perfectionism
and taste this yummy cape gooseberries :-)

signs of fall #2: sycamore

I love sycamore.
There are many of them here.
But there's one
behind "our" bus station.
I pass it at least 4 days a week
and see, how it goes with the seasons.

signs of fall #1

A start of my 4 seasons study-series.



The fallen leaf came from a plant
with bright yellowish green leafs.
I don't know the name of it.
It is brugmansia :-)
It is planted in a big pink pot.
On summer it is brought outdoor.
It stands on the neighbor's house.
I wanted to make a photo of it lately,
but the light was bad.
Today the sun comes out.
But... the plant's gone!! Only
this one leaf was left on the ground.
Well, fall begins.
(Though it is getting warmer again..)



The hazel stands on the lot.
The kids have collected the hazelnuts,
cracked them using stones and
ate them. They had fun doing it.
I was fascinated by the form.
Look at that bizarre shadow.
Isn't it fascinating?
And I like to eat hazelnut :-)
