Autumn magic

I am still up visiting my Mum in the North Island. Have been out and about today , took lots of photos of things I thought I'd use here such as a friends three beautiful dogs , but have ended up with this one!
It has struck me here in Masterton that the Autumn colours are still quite vibrant compared to the those further south where I live.
I went for a walk this afternoon and this stretch of the street was so 'red' I had to try to blip it!
