I love the red, orange and yellow colours of the autumn leaves.
Today, the first day of winter, I was pruning a tree in our back yard
with two of my children, and when I saw these back-lit leaves
on our Chinese Tallowtree, I had to
stop and grab my camera.

Wow - it mustn't be often that you get conditions and colours like that in W.A. What kind of tree is this?
