from your fingers, paint the ground
in colours from a royal palette – amber, ruby, amethyst

Many of our New Zealand trees are evergreen, and our winters are often more richly green than in the summer. But we have many exotic trees as well, and the contrast makes their fallen leaves and bare branches even more special.
