copper beech in the lane
The leaves of the Copper Beech tree (Fagus sylvatica) turn the most gorgeous bright copper colour in autumn and are among the last deciduous tree to lose its leaves. A flash of bright beauty on a dull November day.
If you want to join in with celebrating the colours of autumn then take part in the Festival of Leaves 2019 hosted by Dawn Miller.

I do love these rusty colours but I suspect the leaves are going… going… gone 😦 😦
Oh wow, that is gorgeous!
Still hanging on despite the rain and wind!
Always amazes me…
Stunning!
Last ones standing!!
They are like little fires they are so bright and cheerful
They really are such a lovely colour.
Just before we went to Ireland in 1999 I read Maeve Binchy’s The Copper Beech. Then I saw a huge one in a garden. It was quite exciting. They are beautiful trees.
the beeches have been fabulous this year
They have been the best colour down here.
Stunning colour, Jude
Still one or two hanging on to their leaves Sue, but the wind has been relentless this last couple of days.
Yes, it’s been quite windy here, leaves have fallen…
