The first autumn that we lived in Bath we thought that we would go and see the autumn foliage at the nearby Westonbirt Arboretum, but by the time we got round to it all the leaves were on the ground. The same thing happened last year. On the basis of ‘third time lucky’ we decided…
Autumn Sunlight. This was the view towards sunset looking across Weston village. Cold but bright, a lovely autumn late afternoon. 5 December 2014
Late Garden Colour. Sometimes when I go out with a camera I randomly look for pictures and on other days I have a theme in mind and look for images to meet that theme. Today I was looking for late colour; no autumn leaves, no berries, just late flowers with good colour. I was surprised…
Royal Victoria Park, Bath. This morning first thing I took Maude for a walk and realised that there is still so much colour about apart from the expected autumn tones. We passed one garden that was completely full of dahlias in so many different colours. Later on we walked into town with Mrs Sixwheeler through…
Riverside. Another beautiful day in Bath today, not at all like a mid-October autumn day. Warm, windy and sunny so a good day to be out and about. This is the River Avon riverside in Bath taken from North Parade; behind the trees on the right is the Recreation Ground or The Rec as we…

Wind. Today I took Maude out for a walk and for the first time the day had a real feel of autumn about it. Up the hill we could hear the wind roaring in the trees and once we were out of the village we could see them really threshing about, as you can see…

River Avon. I know that I keep on about it but we are on the brink of an outstanding autumn of colours. The hot, dry September have contributed to this and now that the temperature is a little cooler this will help as well. This picture was taken in the water meadows beside the River…
Virginia Creeper. Autumn brings dramatic changes in the appearance of the countryside as the leaves change colour before they fall. This Virginia Creeper is going completely bonkers with colours from its summer green through reds and yellows. On the news a botanist from Kew Gardens in London was saying that because of the warm and…
