Native Trees In Autumn

April and the streets are now starting to be carpeted by leaves shed by plantings of European and North American trees. Australian trees are evergreen and drop their leaves all year round not caring much for the look of carefully manicured ground. Some even ignore spring and spasm in a wintry bloom spilling bright red blossom in a two fingered salute to gloom. Summer, autumn, winter, spring, native trees seem to always look the same except in summer, when a few like to bathe their feet in flame.
