Autumn Colours

[Nemesis]

With the early onset of Autumn - at least in the southern part of the UK - has anyone been to any arboretums yet?  I think I'll have to try a run to Westonbirt before mid-October.

No, but I've post a image from Sandwell Valley called Autumn Colours.

Was thinking of going up to Richmond Park soon, rutting season for the deer right now, trees turning golden, nice lighting...busy Saturday, Sunday is a possibility but may be going over some friends, so possibly next weekend..

I might have to give this Sunday a try.
Rutting deers, leaves turning golden.
As long as they don't fall on my rails i'll be ok

Went to Westonbirt Arboretum yesterday - it was packed.  The acers and maples have plenty of colour, but the native species should have another couple of weeks of colour change yet.

The only snag, is the weather isn't going to play ball over the next two weeks!

I am off to abbotsbury subtropical gardens on Sunday, they are currenlt doing a flood light walk. Maybe not the most autumnal of settings but certainly worth a look.. it'snear dorchester!
