Burnt leaves

The leaves on this bush seem determined to turn as unevenly as possible this year. Where, in previous years, they've been variations of uniform yellow and red leaves, this year all the leaves are in various states of partial transformation. For instance here, these leaves were stark green with spatters of a deep, almost blood, red. Hence how I was able to edit and create these spots of black on the leaves!

It's yet another intensely heady cloudy day! I hope/pray this stops soon, I need a break!
