There still isn't a lot of autumn colour here. It seems late to me and maybe we won't get a dazzling display. Possibly it hasn't yet been cold enough, though I often feel chilly and have switched to warmer clothes and more layers both inside and out (especially given the hike in energy prices!) This photo is from a recent ramble through Trench Wood at the bottom of Shipley Glen. That bright spray of leaves caught my eye, like a little spark of flame among the dusty browns and yellowing greens.
Incidentally, I note that Bradford Countryside Service (I assume) have recently done a lot of work levelling and repairing footpaths on the eastern side of the wood. It has made it much more pleasant and easy to walk through the wood and hopefully will reduce some of the mud, come winter.
It's been late here. This is a pleasing view.
ReplyDeleteYours is not the only area that has been without much fall color. Many parts of NH including the southern area where we live did not have as spectacular a fall foliage season as previous years.
