day is done

 

  

We're in The National Arboretum at Westonbirt. It's Tuesday afternoon - the light is subdued, filtered through a fluffy cloud-covering overhead.

Rather than detracting from the scene the light enhances it, bringing out the true subtlety in an autumnal palette of colour.

 

It's a peaceful place to stop and reflect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the slow dance of falling leaves

 

Autumn is such a fantastic season. The youthful,strident colours of summer fade and turn,revealing a richer, deeper beauty beneath. A slow dance of falling leaves that remind us of our own mortality.

We walk in silence, taking in the scents and sights all around us. It's quiet here. A cool, grey Autumn morning.
