Oak acorns and autumn leaf C017 / 7172
Oak acorns and autumn leaf. Acorns, the nut of the oak tree (Quercus robur), contain the seed that forms a new tree. Like all deciduous trees, the leaves change colour in autumn as the green pigment, chlorophyll (some still present), breaks down to reveal the red pigment which is usually hidden. Photographed in October in Dorset, UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Oak acorns and autumn leaf" beautifully captures the essence of fall in all its glory. The image showcases a cluster of oak acorns nestled amidst an array of vibrant autumn leaves. Each acorn represents the potential for new life, as it contains the seed that will eventually grow into a majestic oak tree. As the seasons transition from summer to autumn, deciduous trees like the mighty oak undergo a remarkable transformation. The once lush green leaves gradually change color, revealing stunning shades of red, orange, and yellow. In this photograph taken in October in Dorset, UK, we witness nature's artistry at its finest. The image not only celebrates the beauty of this particular moment but also highlights important biological processes occurring within these trees. As chlorophyll breaks down within the leaves during autumn, it unveils hidden pigments such as reds and oranges that create breathtaking landscapes around us. Colin Varndell's skillful photography allows us to appreciate both the intricate details of nature and its grandeur on a larger scale. This snapshot serves as a reminder that even amidst changing seasons and fleeting moments, there is always beauty waiting to be discovered in our natural surroundings.
