Sunday Snapshots

For this week's "hitherto-neglected-shots" post, I have some more photos from the marina 

(see Colours of Autumn).

What stopped me as I drove past that day were the grey threatening sky, and how calm the water was, which produced lots of lovely reflections.

TP 216: Colours of Autumn

Okay so Carmi is demonstrating hitherto unsuspected ingrained  hemisphereism 

and has designated the theme for this week as "fall colours". 

What to do? Go back six months to autumn?? 

Nooooo; that would mean living through that horrible winter all over again. 

No. Not gonna do it.

Autumn colours - red, yellow, orange... right? 

So today I stopped at the marina at Tauranga and looked for some autumn colours. 

I found yellow, and orange:

Must admit that I was a bit worried they were going to fall (*snicker*)

Looked around for some red:

More red here (nice blue, too)...

More autumnal tones:

Mine. Mine. Mine.

Love the trees until their leaves fall off, then encourage them to try again next year.

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly 

about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

~ George Eliot

Not me, George baby.

You might think that the lowering grey sky in these pictures indeed meant cold, autumnal temperatures - not so; it was humid and warm, without a breath of wind.
