ACER (BLOOD RED) 

A present from Mum, some years ago.

'No spring, nor Summer Beauty hath such grace,
As I have seen in one Autumsnal face.'
John Donne c.1571-1631 Posted by Picasa

Dear, you harken to a better time, when people not only read John Donne, but could quote him, as well.

Cheers.

Randall: I find poetry and lovely countryside soothing.

Just come in from a grey miserable afternoon, it's almost dark already. Lovely pic, my acers are falling rapidly. Listening to Clannad - Theme from Harry's game -music also does it for me.

Polly: how about a crumpet simply ooooozing with butter? My husband still eats them!

Oh gosh, you must be a mind reader, I bought some yesterday, first time for ages. Mmmm love them dripping - don't you eat them then? My hubby goes for the mug of hot chocolate on cold days.

From a distance, that almost looks like a red Japanese maple. Due to the warm autumn, some in our area still have leaves - poor things will get all confuddled.

I prefer hot buttered toast on a cold wet windy day. That, draped in the duvet, with hot tea in arms reach, the fire on low and complete control of the remotes

Sim: I took this photo yesterday and today the leaves are still there but the colour has lightened and brightened from its more normal dark red.
