Mementos Of Autumn

A few pictures which I've accumulated on recent excursions but haven't shown you before:

Cattle on Topcliffe Meadow
on one of my regular walks.

Autumn on the streets of Cambridge.

Mr Chaffinch
a common bird in these parts
though not usually as tame as this one that was hanging about the cafe at Wimpole.

The lake at Wimpole Hall
with the folly reflected in the still waters.

Swans on another part of the lake.

Wimpole's Shire Horses
enjoying their winter break.

Water on the glass.
The glasshouses at the Botanic Gardens.


Scene near Shepreth Church.

And Meldreth Church.

This old horse lives on one of my regular walks.

The sun is setting on Autumn,
Winter must be here very soon.

Take care.

  7. An enjoyable photo tribute to the soon to be gone, but not forgotten, fall season. My favorites were the Mr Chaffinch, the lake reflects, and the final sunset.

  8. Those shire horses are magnificent creatures, and take me back to my childhood when we used to sit on them holding onto their manes. I always consider myself lucky that we live in a Mennonite area where draught animals are still used in the fields and we see these wonderful animals frequently.

  12. All your photos are delightful and I really like to low horizon line in the first one, with the cows. Gosh, Mr Chaffinch is very handsome. No chaffinches here in Ontario unfortunately.
