The larch is the only deciduous needle tree in Germany that loses its needles in autumn. And as needles are nothing but leaves they change colour of course which again is a wonderful sight with a blue sky in the background...
"Larix" (Pinaceae)These are the last ones of 2008 - I promise - no more...
And as usual - don't forget to click the photos for enlargement - looks much prettier...
It's meant literally - don't you think?? I just cannot get enough of this colour...
Each year we are the witnesses of a drama - because a drama that is. Every bush and tree, often ignored during the year, suddenly changes its habits - they are wearing festival costumes and they prepare the floor for the last dance...
Don't forget to click on the images to enlarge!
The greens are turning gold and no-one cares to watch that last act of nature before the white death comes...
I especially like these photos for their dynamic - the wind was blowin' quite strongly while I took these photos....
"Fraxinus" (Oleaceae)On the last day of the year I'll show you what I promised a while ago - the cycle of the cherry trees at a certain place...
This is a plant with about 500 species - can you imagine that?
I only know that this is a plant with the most incredible autumn colours I can think of - even more intense and differentiated than those of the maple.
Now click on the images and your eyes will be dazzled...
"Berberis" (Berberidaceae)Normally the wind blows them away, immediately, as soon as they appear - the golden leaves of the birches. But this year we had the luck of an exceptionally beautiful autumn and I had the opportunity to photograph many different trees in their most beautiful dresses. These were the birches...
"Betula" (Betulaceae)
