From the crimson feathers of the Japanese maple to the bright eyes lurking in the hedgerows, there are so many things to see in nature’s autumnal colours.
There’s no poem here, yet, just a few notes.

Maps left on maple leaves when the chlorophyll fades.

Hornbeam and sycamore send their seeds yellowcoptering through the air.
Sunlight shines through a squirrel’s ears, turning them the colour of autumn leaves.
Leaves as pink as crinkled coral.
