Another Golden Tree

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!

  2. Stunning gold. Here, it's hitting the mid 80s and humid.

    1. Fantastic, 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.....
