All the talk of an encroaching Autumn seemed to come true this morning.  The light over the lake had a distinctly warm autumnal glow.  The morning light emphasising the leaves that have started to loose the green of summer….

Wild Campion and Willow Herb by the lakeside adds a highlight of red to the otherwise green and brown vegetation….

whilst in the more open countryside Balsam and Cow Parsley are now well into decline for this years…..

If Autumn is truly knocking on our door then I guess we should welcome it in…there could be no better September morning for just sitting and enjoying the mellow colours of the day……

2nd September
