View across a lawn, looking at the sun through a Birch and red-leaved Oak tree. The shadows are long and the sky is blue.

And the heat goes on… can’t believe I’d already packed my shorts away for winter, what a mistake πŸ₯΅πŸŒ±πŸ“Έ

 A gentle hillside covered in golden grass and tall trees with autumn foliage, their leaves glowing in warm amber tones as sunlight filters through the canopy. The soft light and upward view create a peaceful woodland scene filled with warmth and quiet beauty.

It’s Friday so it’s time for a #scape I’m going with another Autumnal one. Have a great day wherever you are in the world. 🌍 #photography #EastCoastKin

Irises are so beautiful in mass plantings. This is 'Barbara Walther', named for the grand dame of Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in Montclair, NJ. A stunning, tall, pristine white.

Autumnal scene, looking through an archway formed by the red leaves of Acer palmatum β€˜Osakazuki’ and Hamamelis x intermedia β€˜Pallida’. There are other lovely colours of shrubs on either side of the gravel path. There is a lawn in the distance with dappled sunlight.

The first year of a gardening job is a voyage of discovery, seeing the garden change throughout the year. Previous gardeners at Beechgrove have made some lovely choices and planting combinations! #autumn #Scotland #horticulture 🌱🍁πŸ”₯πŸ“Έ

When photographing fall colours don't forget to look down as well as up. The forest floor can be just as colourful. This view is from the Height of Land viewing tower in #PrinceAlbertNationalPark #Saskatchewan #PrinceAlbertNP #ParksCanada #TMACtravel #satw #landscapephotography

The image features a striking, yellow wooden house set against a dramatic mountainous backdrop under a cloudy sky. The house has white trim around the windows and roofline, providing a stark contrast to the golden yellow of the wood. It sits near a body of water, with a small dock and railing extending from its side. The mountains in the background are imposing and rugged, with their peaks disappearing into the ominous clouds. The overall mood of the photograph is somewhat somber, with the dark clouds and craggy landscape contrasting with the bright color of the house.

It was a very miserable day, but it made my picture a bit more dramatic!

Good morning. A little #SundayYellow from earlier in the year.
I’m struggling to be positive at the moment. I know I’m not the only one. So maybe a bit of bright yellow helps.

A soothing photo of an ancient woodland in summer. Everywhere is green - trees, feens and grass. In the centre is a group of foxgloves growing out of a stump.
