Sunlit Seed-heads

I love how many different forms of seed-heads grasses produce and the late afternoon autumn sunlight shows them off perfectly.

Siesta Time

The animals in the park certainly seem to be making the most of the beautiful autumn weather we have been having. Happy, sleepy ducks :)


This squirrel had obviously just been wading on the waters edge and was using the warm afternoon sun to dry off and warm up.




Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Autumn Colours

I have a kind of love/hate relationship with Autumn. I love the season for itself, the colours, the smells and the crunch of dried leaves underfoot but at the same time I can't help but feel that it is a harbinger of doom. It indicates that very soon the temperatures will plummet to minus who-knows-what and we will be layered in ice and snow for months on end. That just takes the edge off all the beauty of Autumn for me unfortunately.
