The Bronze Age

Due to this fall's weather pattern of a very warm September changing abruptly to a frigid October, many of the shrubs and trees did not have a chance to adapt for the normal shutdown of their foliage. The result was a more bronze to brown cast to many leaves. On the morning of October 23, I found the bronze cast of the willow, lilac and other shrub foliage to be quite striking in the morning light. I particularly liked the leathery texture of some of the lilac leaves.
