Choukran Reem. The weather here has been quite mild so far, it's a comfortable temperature, but that could change soon. The autumn has been very pretty, as there hasn't been much wind to blow the leaves from the trees, though it is windy here today, so there might be fewer leaves on the trees now. It has been very colourful and the fallen leaves have a beautiful smell. The beech trees are good around here; they are such big trees with lovely bark and leaves. We have short and dark days again now, though Sunday was very sunny and even warm. Thanks Reem, I am glad you're enjoying the photos and hope all is well and good where you are.

HI John, hope is all is well over there :)
those red, orange and yellow leaves look like they are just floating in mid air..a delicate umbrella of colour and form..it's just the exact opposite to here..it's too hot to enjoy anything except air conditioning and cold beer/wine..
That second pic with the green ball thing hanging..looks like a natural christmas tree decoration!
what is it?
anyway..i i really enjoy these pics
Cheer and all the best

Cheers A13. The green balls are balls of moss. I'm not quite sure what causes them to grow like this but they're good fun. All is ok here, we're enjoying 50, 60+ mph winds here at the moment, so very lively out. Flood warnings all over, the other night we had half a months rainfall in 8 hours with plenty more forecast for tonight. Here we go again...Hope the beer is cool there, all the best to you.
