Autumn soft sunny days and the lengthening shadows from the sun heading north have been stunning.
The spider webs that drift catch on sedges and grasses of all heights spinning a filigree perfectly timed for the lower northern sun to highlight their silken fibres.

Along the coast we don’t experience the spectacular European show of vermillion, burgundy, ambers and the whole gamut. Instead our native flora marks the colour shifts from the changing temperatures in a much more subtle and subdued way.
Except for the samphire; whether above water or below it puts on a stunning show.
The allocasuarina’s male catkins are a soft sight loaded with pollen.
Sweet Bursaria’s tiny castanets turn a gorgeous russet.
The last remnants of the summer grasses, red dock and weeds offer a warm palette to sink into before the freeze arrives.
