Some pure self indulgence here – my Dorset garden is awash with beech leaves, smothering the lawn, blocking the gutters and shrouding the bare bushes, caught in cobwebs and swirling constantly down in the wind. I love them, glistening in russet and gold when wet, crisp, browner and yellower when dry, and I have just assembled a few pictures of the mother tree and the leaves it is shedding. Some I have played with in the photo-editor – I think they’re fun, but if it’s a bit too much like Ikea art, I apologise!
Who or what are Yes and ELP? (Only joking, m'lud!)

Lovely colours here! I love those shades of gold and red. They are one of the good aspects of the autumn season. Watching these shades is really heart-warming when the cold is strinking and the days are becoming shorter.
The point is that we readers of the blog can enjoy the nice colours of the leaves whereas the bad aspects (cleaning the garden) is upon you alone - poor you.
Seconding Dark Puss, I too think that there is nothing wrong with self-indulgence, especially if you did all the hard work dealing with the leaves and garden work.

There is an album of the same name as your post title by "2-Kinzokuebisu" released in 2004. Reviews suggest that if you loved Yes and ELP you'd like it.

What's wrong with some self-indulgence? Autumn colours have been wonderful in the UK this year and I have been collecting and drying leaves for a photographic project whose results, if successful, you will be able to see before the end of the year.
