My Virginia Creeper- clinging on!
I’m being a little bit naughty this morning, but hey, it’s Sunday! I’m allowed? I just have time to squeeze in two challenges before I go walking again tomorrow. The forecast is wet so I’ll have to take the sunshine with me.
An abandoned leaf- but it’s still green!
This one’s properly ‘washed out’
And this one- a brittle brown
But I do find colour hard to resist
Do you have a favourite? Or some leaves to share?
I’m contributing to Festival of leaves- week 3 and also squeezing in a last minute entry to 1 Day 1 World Project 9:00 to 10:00. I should just get away with the latter because Lisa is all the way over in Seattle so way behind the UK in hours. I’ve been meaning to rejoin her challenge for weeks and time is just slipping away. I took these yesterday morning, on my way to zumba, in the rain.
If you can squeeze some time, please join in with either or both of these challenges. They’re so worthwhile. Happy weekend!

Your Virginia creeper makes me homesick, Jo! I miss fall in Virginia. I guess I’ll have to wait till next year. 🙂

You have lots of Autumns in Virginia to ‘fall’ back on, Cathy. 🙂 But only one Chinese fall, and it looked like you were having a ball. 🙂

Yes, Jo, it was a wonderful holiday all around! It helped make up for me missing fall. Sadly I don’t get another break until February, but I really hope to be able to take some short trips on weekends. I want to see as much as I can see in my year here. 🙂

Thanks, Nicki 🙂 I love them when they’re at their crispest. This year they’ve been a bit damp and listless, but you can still find colour.

Thanks Jo! So nice to see drops of water on foliage, everything is very dry here as we head into summer with little rain forecast.

Our part of the world has been much drier than usual, Sam, but it’s all set to change. No such luck for you, I’m sure. 😦

Our September was glorious with tons of sunshine but today is cloudy and chilly. It started to rain about an hour ago so I am sure if I went out I could find many damp leaves. I love the colours in the first image.

It was wonderful while it lasted, wasn’t it? We came back from the Algarve to a week of damp and fog, but since then it’s been quite balmy. I could get used! 🙂

Hi Lisa 🙂 Hopefully I made it in time? We’ve watched that Creeper grow for 25 years. It’s like a family member and I hate it when it blows away.

I would hate it too! I have a Japanese maple I’m looking at right now and the leaves turn a beautiful shade of red in the fall but when they blow away I’m always sad…
