Over the last few days we've had tremendous winds, along with drizzly rain interspersed with brief, torrential downpours. Last night the house shook and I wondered whether the new verandah roof would go the way the old one went last year. It proved up to the task, though, and the house came through unscathed. This afternoon, needing time outside, I braved the gale and took the camera for a walk. Surprisingly, not all autumn's leaves had been ripped from the trees.

Love those tenacious 'hangers on'. We have had a truly weird start to the wintry season. Cold. Windy. Hot. Windy. Most of our decidous trees are bare. Some are still green. And last week we noticed a patch of trees, still with last years leaves - and blossom.
ReplyDeleteTenacious leaves.
ReplyDeleteEC and Zhoen, they're definitely tenacious. Even today after more winds, violent at times, a few still hang on.
ReplyDeletebeautiful leaves....and we've been getting similar weather....just that it's supposed to be summer here!
ReplyDeletegz, the weather here has been nuts lately, and everything seems confused. We have plants flowering out of season, even though we're only a week out from the winter solstice.
