Looking for autumn

[swordznsorcery]

It's been an odd season so far; or it has been around here anyway. Apparently the trees can't be bothered to change their coats. It definitely is autumn. The warmth has gone, there's been some very cold nights, and there's been more rain in the last three days than there was over the whole of the summer. But everything is still remarkably green. So when I went for a walk today, I went looking for the red bits.

There's a nice bit of autumn here. I quite like this bit:



And look, I have it from the other direction too, because I'm helpful (or boring) that way:



But I could have taken this picture at any time over the summer:



Trees!



Sorry. Here, have a photo of a squirrel instead:



The castle has found a bit of autumn:





It doesn't seem inclined to share, though. And when the sun consents to come out, it's remarkably summery still:



Not that I'm complaining exactly - at least while the sun is shining. But if you do have any spare bits of autumn lying about, and don't mind sharing, stick them in the post, could you? If I have to put up with the pelting rain and being chilly at night, I want the nice colours that go with it. Thank you.

PS:



Yum. :)

Lovely pictures! It all looks so still - which seems to have been a major theme, weather-wise, up here too this year. It's nice.

Still would be a good word, yes. Although not just at the moment! The wind currently seems to be trying to blow the house down. :)

These are great you should photoshop them to look like paintings!!

I'm not sure what the point of that would be, but thank you. :)
