Title: Falling Leaves
Post by: tim on November 01, 2003, 19:00:04
I really do apologise for appearing once again - but really thought it might be of interest.
Did these last year, and mentioned it on the beeb - but, of course, couldn't show it.

These are leaves off our Norway Maple - copied directly on the printer (camera battery low, I'm afraid). I was amazed!  - Tim

Very beautiful. We did a scan of a Clematis last year in an attempt to have it identified, rather than trying to preserve the flowers and leaves long enough to get them to the experts. It has been a very colourful Autumn has it not.

Thought you might like to see our Pear Tree in its best Autumn dress.

Hi, Just a small posting to admire Tim's beautiful leaves - fabulous colours and form, and Eric's Tree in fine Autumn array.  We have had our allotment eight months now and I look forward to next year, when hopefully I will be able to have something worthy of being shown here.

This gallery is such a good facility, and enriches this site no end.  I feel as though I know the participants so much better, seeing their lovely allotments and gardens.  Great to have something to aspire to, and draws people closer together.  Keep these photos coming they are a joy to see. busy_lizzie :D :D

- that's reeeelly the cats' whiskers, Eric!!

Sorry mine was a poor photo. I've ordered a battery charger. Damned thing eats batteries.

Press BB? Nice idea. We have many that my aunt did 100 years ago. Fantastic. But I've just sold my 22X26 hot/cold press to pay for my retirement. And this way they take up less room in the album. - Tim
