Our incredible summer has given way to a slow, gentle and warm autumn with the occasional storm and chilly snap.
No matter the calmness and mild temperatures because the light is decreasing noticeably now and the shortest day is only a month or so away.
Lowering light levels and the cold of last weekend has seen leaf colour turn and the leaves beginning to fall in large numbers now.
On a short walk yesterday before the rain set in I captured these photos.

Wonderful photos of beautiful autumn colours. I’ve been enjoying the changing trees here, too.
The colours are really strengthening and the next week should bring even more lovely sights. It is a dazzling time of the year near deciduous trees.
Lovely colours. My lawn is covered with beautiful autumn leaves. I don’t want to rake them up because they look so pleasing.
I’m like you and admire the carpeting of leaves. The wind here can often see them whisked away to someone else’s property, but not at the moment. All is calm:-)
Calm but still very wet here!
Beautiful autumn photos Lynley. I’m catching up after some time away from the blog.
Thanks Juliet. Welcome back to the blogosphere. I hope book sales are going well.
