Autumn Colour

 

2016: Autumn Colour (Photo: Christopher Collin; Design: Carina Länk)

To stand close to a tree and look up is always a thing of wonder whether one sees the fresh green of spring or this glow of autumn.

It is thought this is the first series of stamps using photos from Instagram. The person behind the camera is Christopher 'Wisslaren' Collin (@wisslaren) with a million followers.  We go from the rust leaved silver birch by a lake to
1999: Deciduous Trees (Design - H Staun; Engraver - M Morck)

the golden yellow of a small-leaved linden tree.

Lovely! So appropriate. I like the last stamp the best.

I've now been introduced to an autumn hawkbit.
Walking through crunchy fallen leaves is the best.

As usual, your stamps bet. I love all of them!

Brilliant - all of them, but it is the Jersey stamp that draws me in.
