Natural beauty

My friend Jonathan went out and found these lovely autumnal colours in the local park.

He took these photos and I wanted to share these with everyone because of what someone decided to do with the fallen leaves.  Ephemerally beautiful, arranged in the manner of the art of Andy Goldsworthy, these are worthy natural artworks by an unknown creative.

But this kind of beauty is also found in many smaller seasonal vegetables and plants that I have been photographing recently-

Spring is not the only time to find beauty in nature! In case you are interested, BBC has done a short film about why leaves change colour in autumn, which you can find here.
