Myrtle Park trees

I had to pop to Aldi in Bingley to do some shopping. They have some very good 'own brand' items and I usually stock up on some of the bigger bulk buys there too, so I tend to go about once a month. It's cheaper than most of its rivals, though as their fresh fruit and veg is often packed in bags that are too big for one person living alone, I mostly get fresh stuff from Asda or Sainsbury's.   

It was lovely weather.  We've enjoyed a few days of what might be described as 'an Indian summer', with above average temperatures. While I was in Bingley, I decided to have a walk around Myrtle Park, to see if the trees there were showing any good colour. It is still quite muted, but there are a couple of small acers by the walled garden which were glowing nicely in the sunshine. (I'd seen a photo on social media of these two trees that rendered them both absolutely bright red! The reality when I visited was a lot more muted and nuanced. I guess the social media post was a photo from a previous year - or perhaps it had been heavily processed, in the way people often seem to love to do. I think you can mostly hardly improve on nature.)
