Wednesday...with London Plane leaves

Obviously Autumn brings a lot of colour to leaves but it’s also a strange thing to see all the coloured flowers disappearing at the same time...

The Virginia Creeper is just beginning its incredible colour change, which will hopefully become a bright red in a couple of weeks...

...but I was in London yesterday and you’re basically surrounded by London Plane trees and, being September, the pavements are beginning to gather a cunchy leaf carpet...

I wanted to challenge myself to find lots of colours within the dried leaves, so collected just a few from near Temple and Waterloo Bridge...

...I had to weight them down a bit at first to keep them flat and then added the dry hydrangea, physallis and Virginia Creeper berries.

 I spotted the succulents perfect colour match from the kitchen window...

...and then proceeded to drink 3 cups of tea!
