Autumn 2013

[shibui]

After a few cool nights a week or so ago the first trees are starting to show some autumn colour around my area. This week I noticed the first real colour in a few of the bonsai.
Please feel free to add any of your autumn pics.

This trident group was the first to show signs of autumn colour about a week ago and is now well coloured.

The other group has also started.

There is a little colour creeping into this English elm.

I have also included this crabapple. Leaves have not coloured yet but it did have a good display of little golden apples until last week but I did not get a photo before the birds.

Looks like it might be a good year for colour up your way.

Not sure what type of colour to expect this year here in Melbourne. The tridents have had multi defoliations so maybe they will turn some nice shades.

We never seem to get as nice colour as the those you get up your way.

the Autumn colours are something I sure miss about living in a colder climate, don't miss much else

Love the forest, so many colours

Very lovely autumn colours there, no colour on my bonsai yet they are all still growing but my big japonicum in the garden is really putting on a show this year.

Love your trident forest (and the others too). Inspiration for my attempt in the shohin comp, although mine must be much shorter
