After breakfast we all headed out in various directions searching for inspiration. A few of us continued along Milbrodale Road towards the tiny village of Milbrodale and then onwards on the Putty Road towards Bulga.

It wasn’t long before we found another splendid example of Autumn colour – again the driveway leading into a winery with the twin rows of fall rich autumn trees leading into the property. Unfortunately the gate was closed but I ended up working this into the composition.

I think what makes this composition besides the fabulous colour of the autumn leaves in full bloom is the deep shadows across the road from the lowish sun to our right.

We continued onwards down the road to Bulga and crossed this nice old wooden bridge crossing Wollombi Brook.

Completing the loop we headed back towards Broke on Charlton Rd. Just at the edge of town we found this smashed up old home. I really would have liked to go over there and get a closer look but the array of fences and warning signs spoke otherwise.

Back on Milbrodale Road where we started and heading back to our accommodation there was just time for one more stop at the entrance to Margan Winery and their fabulous display of Autumn colour along their driveway. Better yet we found an open body of water – just a few centimetres deep but enough for these fabulous reflections.

Visions of Red

All I needed was a girl with bright red hair to match these gorgeous autumn coloured leaves… ah yes we just happen to have one of those – thankyou Deb and Tish 🙂
