I have not stopped thinking of layered colours since my last post, and it so happens to have coincided with the beginning of autumn. I find myself looking at trees differently, at the individuality of their colour-changing: truly, as the ancient Japanese rightly observed when they created their myriad kasane no irome, no two essences display the same palette, or pattern, when they cast off their green coat.
So here’s a photo post, capturing some of the trees I have encountered in the past few days. Oxford delights in having scholars, students and plants from all around the world, and I can’t even identify most of these, though I know them each as an individual by now. What are trees doing where you are right now?
