Autumnal

[white_hart]

Autumn seems to have been late in coming this year; the weather has been mild, so I've barely needed a jacket, and the trees have been slow to turn. I even saw a peacock butterfly flapping around our garden this afternoon.

Still, the last few days have been cooler and when I look out of my window now there is definitely as much yellow on the trees as green. And when I went for a lunchtime walk a few days ago Parsons' Pleasure was looking very autumnal.

I have a turkey oak (Quercus Cerris) outside my window which has been slow to change colour. There's a lot of yellow and orange now but still plenty of green. It's mild here too and I still haven't put the heat on, but this is a warm flat. That's a very nice photo. I think I know the place!

If you know Oxford, you almost certainly do know it!
