A single tree in full red, orange and yellow autumn leaf standing beside a small stream in a park, fallen leaves covering the lawn beneath it, cabbage trees and dark conifers on the far bank under a blue sky with thin cloud.

One Tree, All of Autumn

Every colour it had, at once.

Late autumn, low sun coming through the crown from behind so the leaves light up rather than just sit there being red. The stream gives the frame somewhere to go, and the leaves on the grass say how long this has been going on. Cabbage trees on the left, for anyone wondering which hemisphere. Shot on a phone, and none the worse for it.
