Autumn

Autumn is one of my favourite seasons and I always look forward to the dramatic changes in the landscape and the warm colours that result.

This is a fraction of the collection of pumpkins and gourds that are for sale in the farm shop by Charlecote Park.



I posted photographs last autumn, but their collection is so magnificent, I just had to do it again.

 

We then went for a walk in Charlecote Park and seeing fungi in specific spots was a delight.

A different variety further on

and then some growing on the trunk of a tree.

Back in the U.K.

 

From summer to autumn in one day.

After a very quiet but enjoyable stay in Greece we are back in the U.K. One of the first things I like to do is go for a walk in the park as I find that this grounds me, makes me accept and welcome the move.

I always start with Mill Gardens





A gorgeous day, cold but sunny and the pond is a pleasure to behold

These two mallards think so too

 

sun, clouds, trees and bushes reflected in the water, brown leaves floating on top

 



 

 

fractured reflections

and a lone coot negotiating its way through

the play of light and shadow on the little bridge

 

 

 

 

the river so still,

 

I have missed all of this.

As I cross the next bridge to get to Jephson Gardens, I notice that there is an unusually large number of Canada geese in the water





I take one of the paths in Jephson Gardens

lots of red this time of year

 

this squirrel will do anything to get to those berries

having finished eating, off we go....

The new sensory garden is finished and it's got lots of colour

 

 

Autumn colours at their best.

 

It's good being back.
