Autumn is here!

The summer weather finished the week the children went back to school and since then there is no denying, with the rain and wind and chilly weather, that Autumn is here.

With that in mind, it was time to take down my summer wreath hanging outside my front door and make it autumnal. I had envisaged adding some lovely maple leaves but I only have small leaf die-cutters so I cut a selection of these out in red and various shades of orange foam. I then tucked these into the wreath as though they had blown into it.

Autumn

I love the colour of the trees in Autumn and we are really lucky to have a field maple behind our house that changes to the most brilliant yellow every year.

A couple of Saturdays ago, I noticed the sun shining through the early morning mist from the river and lighting up the tree so I grabbed the camera and took some photos. I think they came out quite well for a complete amateur ...
