#SundayPixLeaves you say, so my mind goes to a couple of beech hedges at Chatsworth
Beech hedges close in from both sides and disappear to the distance leaving a grass space between of variable width.a few leaves lie on the grass and autumnal trees tower above the hedge in the centre as it becomes more distant.

I spotted this at Eden Lookout, New South Wales, a few years back. Whoever came up with the text had obviously never lived in England, I've gone whole days without it!

Yes, my thoughts went to a southern hemisphere spring to be different. #SundayPixSpring
Spring bloom in Windsor, New South Wales. Red petals with an occasional green leaf showing.

@wombat37.bsky.social a stepped water feature at Chatsworth House. Sadly turned off currently for long-term maintenance, this was from 10 years ago.
#SundayPixSteps
A stepped waterfall with grass and trees either side, the horizon shrouded in mist. In the foreground is a crushed stone path.

This is the Mythical Beasts follow up album to their iconic debut In The Wild

#SundayPixCover
Two towering sculpted horses heads, The Kelpies, seemingly emerging from the ground against a grey sky with the text "Mythical Beasts" in red and "Emerging from the landscape" in yellow.

@wombat37.bsky.social this summer I made myself a pair of shorts (first ever) so my legs got an airing.
My knackery knees are just hidden by these black denim shorts modelled in the kitchen just as I've finished sewing them, hence the black socks.

If you see this, quote post with a beach photo from your gallery
One of North East England's many glorious beaches. Lots of sand and a rocky outcrop, part of the Whin Sill, at Bamburgh with the castle perched on the horizon to the right. The sky has light cloud above.

#SundayPixShadows for @wombat37.bsky.social
Sunlight enters through a glass and wood doorway on the left creating a shadow on the floor. The stone doorway to the right is open revealing a heavily shadowed interior beyond.

This statue of Sir Tom Finney is called Splash. It is at the Preston North End Football Club ground, in Deepdale, Preston. It is representative of an iconic photograph from 1956 taken at Stamford Bridge of Sir Tom.
#SundayPixSplash
Central is a statue of a footballer sliding in to kick a ball set on a bed of water obscured by fountain spraying water up. Behind is a football stadium under a cloudy blue sky.

@wombat37.bsky.social could not resist sharing this. Taken April 2023 and sadly not long before the tree was cut down. This is on Hadrian's Wall, Northumbria #SundayPicClouds
A dip in the hills with a sycamore tree sitting in the lowest part, just coming into leaf. In the foreground are groups of people on the grass. The background is a blue sky with clouds in the lower part enabling the silhouette of the tree to be seen.

@wombat37.bsky.social my offering for #SundayPixClouds
On the left is the orange housing of a life ring attached to railings that work across to the right of the picture, beside a walkway that becomes a stone pier in the River on the right of the picture. On the other bank are building. Beside the walkway on the left is a small triangle of sandy beach with three people on it. At the end of the pier on the river is a container ship heading left. A thin line separates the water of the river and the clouds of the sky. The clouds are textured, mottled greys and white.

I've already posted one #SundayPixLandmark for @wombat37.bsky.social but having tried to resolve an issue with Bluesky not accessing photos and succeeding, here's another taken about 6 weeks later.
View of St Pauls Cathedral from the north end of the Millennium Bridge.
