I need to get out more. During the weekend just passed, I realised there are only two weeks of Autumn left and I had not seen a single orange/red/yellow leaf. Maybe the seasons are slow this year? That would be nice, I don't think I am ready for Winter.

The revelation struck like a bolt of sunshine. Travelling to Canberra, playing the dutiful son, I came upon Lake George. It is a trip I've completed many times. Rounding the bend, a strip of stark, blood orange foliage jumped at me, from afar. Appearing like a wound of the earth, the maples lined the shore of the "lake". Eucalypts then lined the maples. I must say the orange/khaki contrast was aesthetically wonderous.

Hmmm, maybe I should travel during the day more often, the traffic was pretty kind.
