The Forecast said….Sunny Spells!

, _DSC6346

True to there word the sun did break through the rain laden clouds….and for a brief (very) it looked promising.  The rain had worked its magic on the leaves enhancing there already golden brown colours.  The Beech trees are now starting to turn.  Yesterday the leaves were still rich dark green overnight that green has faded to a muted lime green…..the next step is for them to turn golden then fall to decorate the woodland floor.

But our woodland walk had started in the rain….and indeed we finished in the rain….but the little bit in-between was very welcome.

They do say ” No Rain….No Rainbows ”
So far no Rainbows so I guess no pots of Gold….but maybe there is… “Pots of Golden Leaves”

  4. I can see that you are just about at the same level as we are over here. Most of the leaves fell off the trees abour 48 hours ago. We had a short cold spell here one night. That’s all that was needed.

  7. Fabulous colours, Davind. Your trees seems more beautiful than ours and their leaves seem even brighter. Great to be part of it. We will be missing most of the rain this week, according to THEM overhere. It looks llike we will have a bit of the Indian Summer even though it’s a wee late to bring all the colours out. A gift horse…. and all that… 🙂

    1. It has been so mild, even now we have unseasonable high temperatures. Whilst a great many leaves are down there are still many more on the trees and just so long as we have no frost or gales we should be O.K. for awhile longer….well a few more days anyway
