Autumn in the Waikato

Laura from Showerdome Waikato

Autumn into winter is a stunning time of year and we had a special tree we loved to watch the seasonal change. As the air gets cooler and the colours change, then eventually fall off, like us the trees adapt.
“Autumn…the year’s last, loveliest smile.”- William Cullen Bryant
Everyday for 50+ days, we documented the change to this tree. Check out our timelapse below.

Do you have a special place you enjoy watching the seasonal changes? Let us know in the comments below!
