Lovely foliage in citrus colours from further up our street in Tapanui. We were driving back into town from a trip to Roxburgh on 17 April and these colours were so beautiful I asked Nigel to drop me off so I could catch some pre-sunset colour. I took these and a bunch of shots of fiery red foliage (which I’ll post separately) before the sun dipped below the horizon. Tapanui, West Otago, New Zealand.
The whole tree …

The blue sky brings out the citrus colours well and makes the images feel full of life, despite the fact that the leaves are soon to go. A beautiful moment. 🙂

I was making the most of this perfect blue-sky day, it was the first really nice day for ages. We’d had heaps of grey, cold days.

Those ARE beautiful colors, Liz. And the blue sky really reinforces them.

Thanks Ellen! I couldn’t get out of the car fast enough. All that beautiful colour to capture and only a short window of time before the sun disappeared 😀
