strangely autumnal

and, following on from yesterday's bronzed and golden leaves, the view from the bedroom window this morning.  What's strange here is that although the Asian Pear is, indeed, shedding its autumnal foliage in a spectacular dropping of yellow and orange color, the hill behind is greening after the rains - and yet here, in the very early morning sun, it could plausibly be covered in bracken.
