Pictures from let to right (I think) are maple, aspen (the catkins can be seen) and a decorative grape vine.
A trip to the Hunter Valley last weekend yielded these photographs. The day was perfect with a cool breeze and a mild honeyed light, in autumn the Valley was a bit like John Donne's lines:
No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
as I have seen in one autumnal face
More famous autumn poems: Keats' ode to autumn, Jackson C. Frank's Milk and Honey (memorably covered by Nick Drake), Emily Dickinson's take and Du Fu's very many meditations on the season.
And Guardian link to many more as well as readers poems here.
