18 June - autumn coming...?

... well with today's weather it wouldn't surprise me! I almost put the heating back on!
But early evening has turned out lovely & sunny and although I was itching
to get down to the poppy field to do some evening poppy shots, not possible
with two kids to get to bed and a dodgy knee - can barely walk! (It's my age,
I need to be less vigorous clearing up!!) So here's a shot from the back door of
a neighbours Eucalyptus (I think!) tree!

Oh! And I nearly forgot to say! I got a photo on the BBC today! :o http://www.bbc.co.uk/kent/in_pictures/ That's MY poppy shot!! :o)

If there's a Koala Bear in the tree, it probably is a Eucalyptus! LOL

Interesting abstract shot - the single red leaf really works well
