Having almost crashed into the back of a slow-moving truck the other day whilst admiring the late afternoon sun hitting a row of trees with leaves in every possible shade of red, green, yellow and brown, I decided that we'd be very hard put to improve on nature when it decides to put on a display.

So the theme for this month is "Natural colour". It doesn't have to be autumn leaves, of course. It just has to be colourful, and made by nature. smile

As always, a reminder of the rules...


•The shot MUST be taken this month, with the closing date being midnight on the 30th of November.
•The exif must be posted with your shot.
•Keep the images posted to a decent size please, 1024px wide max.
•I'll choose the winner this month (with the winner choosing the theme for next month, then deciding who should win that months)
•The Challenge for next month should be generic, as not everyone has access to zoom, macro, specialist lenses. It should be shots that everyone is capable of achieving with the bare essentials

Blimey! How come you've got flowers like that in your garden in November??? Our garden consists of nothing other than dead leaves and twigs! hehe

I picked it on Friday. It's in a rose vase with about a day's life left.

The sun had gone down, I only had my monopod and no tripod so I took about 15 photos and this was the sharpest!

Took this at the start of the month.

ok it's not that colourful, but the theme 'natural colour' seems to describe it quite well.
