Autumnal

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.

Water cascading over a weir into a foaming pool, framed by horse chestnut branches with brown and green leaves clinging to them above and a carpet of brown leaves glowing in the sunshine on the ground in front of the pool.
