Focus on the Foliage - Part 2

Before the rain showers arrive, followed by the wind.
As we all know - this is the time of the year that we all love to see the spectrum of colours. This is also the time of year that deciduous / broad leaf Trees will drop their foliage ready for the winter months. I find now is a good time to take a few more photos before leaf drop.

By Tradition - a Bonsai Tree, Accent Plant along with a Scroll would have been displayed together.

With UK Pottery becoming more and more popular Over the past few years, Accents plants have seen an increase in the UK. Bonsai Enthusiasts and Professionals are now obtaining the pot before the plant approach. With an increase of Accents Pots being made and sold, this is also a good opportunity for the potter! Why? Accent pots are a great way to experiment with different Glazes and Techniques.
