Dying Leaves

Dying Leaves
These are from a Horse Chestnut tree..........a lot of which are affected by some sort of blight, which you can clearly see here.

In the right light they can still be quite beautiful though............

The photo is beautiful with the light shining through the leaves and the lovely background bokeh!

Horse chestnuts in Germany also are all suffering and slowly dying off from that leaf-mining moth:-( Obviously the only help is to plant sweet chestnuts instead which will grow well because of the heating climate.

Many thanks for your kind comments Gudrun. Glad you like it.

I thought the problem was just in the UK.........but obviously not. We've lost a lot of trees here!

Yes the horse chestnut trees are certainly under threat, and many are on their last legs, but I know of one or two that seem to be OK. The infected trees here have sparse leaves that are totally brown and withered.
I hope you are staying safe and will not be adversely affected by the coming storm, Keith.

It's such a shame about the trees...........we've lost quite a few near where we are.

We were staying in Exmouth but we didn't go anywhere near the coast until after the storm, most of the access roads had been barricaded anyway, but it would have been stupid and irresponsible to try! Overall, Exmouth was OK.
