Illumination

At this time of the year, every drop of sunlight is delicious but it's particularly enticing during the late afternoon - those golden hours which bathe everything in deep, rich colour.

I took advantage of that precious sunlight with all of the photos below. I hope you enjoy them.

The tip of this autumn leaf was peeking out of the shade and into the sunlight.

There are a number of apple trees around my local park - many of them edible - some of those without worms.

This lovely blossom is called Indian Balsam or Touch Me Nots. At the slightest touch, the pods burst open to reveal their seeds.

Cedars are beautiful in all seasons, even when their fronds have lost their fresh, green colour, and especially when saturated with sunlight.

Luscious, red Hawthorn berries - brilliant in the autumn light.

Autumn Joy (Sedum) enjoys basking in the sunlight which pours into my front yard.

A tiny, deep blue chicory blossom glows in the afternoon sunshine.
