The Season Of Change

Tonight we change the clocks back one hour, but it's not just the time that's a-changing. After loitering around for so long, summer has finally taken its leave. The weather is suddenly very changeable with heavy showers chasing across the green land. The summer birds have all departed and the winter thrushes are just beginning to arrive. And of course the trees are changing colour and then shedding their leaves. Here's a selection of photos recording the changes, taken on recent walks around my home locality, including the compulsory thatched cottage and patient old horse.





















Take care.

  2. Everything is changing now. Today we have rain, wind and some occasional sun. The sky in your first photo is quite dramatic. Nice photos as always, John.

  7. Emjoyed your lovely photos, John....Like Hildary, above, the rose hips caught my eye and reminded me of some in my daughter-in-laws garden that she kindly offered me, - I must go and get them and make the house cheerful for melancholy November!

  9. Yes, the fall colors are at their peak where I live, and the rains have begun. I didn't know you set your clocks back in your country too. I thought it was just a silly American thing.

  11. Same here, the change of Winter time is also a change to Winter weather. Our grass is frozen white this morning. Wonderful shots John! Enjoy your Sunday.

  12. Finally the leaves are changing here. The weather feels like November, raw and wet. I am loving it, as I am no fan of summer except for the tomatoes and flowers it brings.

  13. Love the cottage with last roses. We (in US) don't change our cocks till next weekend. The path through the woods looks especially inviting.

  17. It's suddenly turned freezing here. Hard to adapt when the change is so abrupt. But who can complain when the seasons produce the wonderful colours and scenes you've captured here?
