Autumn leaves
The last leaves are still hanging on the branches of various deciduous trees.
Though not for long, because of their destination. They have a duty to fulfill!
The spectacular display of the colorful foliage and the shedding leaves on the earth add an interesting artistic element in the landscape.
The season is changing. Autumn is finally here and oh, do I love autumn walks!
Virginia creeper
Quite recently, on our trip to Kakopetria village, I spotted this creeper on a house wall.

I have to say that, as much as I love shooting plants and flowers, I don’t know much about them besides the common ones. I thought it would be hard to find information about this creeper because I only had a picture and no clue what is called. So I searched for it as a red creeper in the web and I found it quickly.
Parthenocissus quinquefolia, known as Virginia creeper, Victoria creeper, five-leaved ivy, or five-finger. It is a prolific deciduous climber. It is grown as an ornamental plant, because of its ability to rapidly cover walls and buildings, and its deep red to burgundy fall (autumn) foliage.

An important information is that its berries are highly toxic to humans. On the other hand they are not toxic to birds, which provide an important winter food source for many bird species.

Autumn photography
Autumn is here!
The turning of the season is always a great opportunity to capture the change of the surroundings.

Autumn marks the transition from summer to winter. One of its main features is the shedding of leaves from deciduous trees and plants. The leaves are changing colors and become yellow, orange, red and brown.

Red, yellow, orange and brown leaves are blending all together and create a colorful veil, which is embracing the earth and transforms the surroundings into a spectacular view.
