Violas flower all winter, unlike winter-flowering pansies. Even if they do look a bit sad from time to time.

365 pictures - Day 221

Autumnal. 

365 pictures - Day 220

Our front privet hedge is turning purple. It doesn't drop all its leaves - just purples and thins out.

 A little face!

The Orange Dream acer is going over now, but still hanging on to its leaves.
