I find it really difficult to do an upbeat page ATM. The Artastic May challenge was no exception but the autumn scene was refreshing and I tried my best to make an autumn page. I had already taken some Autumn scenes as the colour is so good this year having a very hot summer followed by a very wet late summer/autumn. The larger picture is just down the road from my house, where a really big hill is in the background of the trees on the flat near the creek. Gum trees don't have autumn colour, so I have to reply on the spread of English trees like poplars or willows, or pinoaks and maples.
