What a difference it makes when the sun’s out! Yesterday morning we departed our motel and then I spent more time back in the Dunedin Botanic Garden while Nigel did a site visit for his work. I wondered what difference the sun’s presence would make to the horse chestnut tree – here’s what I saw 🙂
A little comment-chat with Linda Leinen inspired my title, thanks Linda!

Thanks Peter! The colours looked incredible in the sunshine and particularly welcome after the dreary day I’d endured the day before!

So warm and enveloping but we’re getting some chilly days now. The warm colours can be a bit deceptive!

Yes, autumn light looks warm but often isn’t! We’re still waiting for it to get properly warm here.

Of course, now I’m wondering: what would an improper autumn look like? And how would it behave? There could be some amusement there!

I see what you mean about the carpet of autumn leaves over there now. I remember horse-chestnut trees and their distinctive seed balls from growing up in New York, where some people planted them. In Austin we have several native Aesculus taxa that grow as small trees.

Very different, Liz. The sun really brings out the colors of the leaves and makes them glow. Wonderful. 🍂🍂🍂
