Last week, I posted about a golden tree sculpture for Thematic Photographic's Trees and Branches theme.
Today, June 1st, is the first day of winter in this part of the world.
I went to school to write student reports, and saw this Ginkgo absolutely glowing in the low sun:
Gilded sculpture or Ginkgo?
Real tree wins, hands down!
Absolutely beautiful. This is such a magical time of year. And yes, the real tree is indeed the winner. By a long way.
ReplyDeleteStunning gold. Here, it's hitting the mid 80s and humid.

I agree - what a beut tree.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, eh? This morning, 6 days later, the leaves had all dropped off and were a golden carpet on the ground. I planned to take a photo but by the time I returned to do so, the groundsman had come along with his leaf vacuum-thingy and they were gone. Pffft! The transience of existence, etc etc.....
DeleteBeautiful and stunning, especially when up against the gorgeous, clear blue sky!
ReplyDeleteNow it is bare... But I have the picture to remind me of how beautiful it was :)
