One and a bit days until summer is officially gone for another year and autumn, traditionally the best season in Sydney, begins. Notwithstanding that the forecast for Saturday is for temperatures in the high 20s and Sunday in the low to mid 30s, bleurgh.

One would think that these leaves are getting in a bit early, except of course that they are gum leaves and like most Australian natives, therefore evergreens.

For snow has not been a traditional feature of a Sydney winter since... ah, when was the last ice age, again? And there is little point in hibernating for the winter when the snow covered vistas of some of my northern hemisphere visitors simply don't happen here.

Yes, this could have been a macro but instead I used the flexibility of the 40-150 for it.
