Celebrating being back

It has been raining non stop since I got back to the UK, so when there was a break and the sun came out I rushed to the park. It was late afternoon and the light was amazing.

The hydrangeas are in bloom

and the grasses look fabulous

it's that time of year when the leaves turn golden, particularly when the sun shines on them

and it was that time of day when the light transforms the everyday to something magical

and everything was very peaceful.

Shadow and light

and green, green - I had been starved of the green

preparing for winter

reflections in the water.
