Autumn Leaves....Or Is It Winter Leaves?

The trees don't seem to realise that we've slipped over into winter and many of them still have their beautiful autumn leaves.

I turned a corner this morning and there was this ravishing beauty waiting to be blipped!! :))

The weather is lovely at the moment, cool in the mornings (see extra shot) and at night but warmish during the day, today was 23c! I'd be happy if it would stay like that all year round! Actually I'd really like to totally forget about hitting 43c at any time!!
