I'd gone all day without taking any photos at all (most unusual), until this evening that is. I was outside… the garden was cold and there was little sign of activity. So to pass the time I took this shot of one of the rose galls, which has now transformed from early summer green to a rich reddish-brown. The larvae inside the gall will emerge in the spring as rose gall wasps.<\/p>\n

That got me thinking about autumn colours, the reds and browns, and how the garden spiders are so much in evidence at this time of the year.<\/p>\n

And autumn means leaves… I heard some loud rustling at the far end of the garden. Here's why.<\/p>\n

I can hardly end a post about the colours of autumn without including a shot of a fox. It's another photo of the nicked-ear vixen. She appeared briefly while I was busy with hedgehog, but long enough to take this.<\/p>\n

Camera note: the gall and the spider were photographed with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG macro lens. I used the EF70-300mm 4.5-5.6 DO IS lens for the hedgehog and fox.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,282,1009,1],"tags":[75,1128,469,1168,1132],"class_list":["post-1223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-foxes","category-hedgehog","category-spiders-2","category-uncategorized","tag-autumn","tag-fox","tag-gall","tag-hedgehog","tag-spider","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1223\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
