Colours
After all the ghostly goings-on of recent posts, something more restful might be in order. One of the best places to experience autumn colour, in the UK, must be Westonbirt Arboretum.
Stunning, no?
pin it?
Beautiful
Thank you.
ooooh gorgeous. The last photo with the twiggy branches & a few orange leaves leaning towards the mass of colour of the others is stunning. I must get out to the woods….. broken camera has been replaced !
Hurrah! Look forward to seeing the results.
The colours are glorious. The last photo especially resonates with me!
Mike took the photos, so credit goes to him. The first one is his favourite, but I’m with you…
Where is this place? Now the motorbiking days are fading away we have the new van we need to put through it’s paces – do you have the postcode for this place?
I’ve emailed you Denise.
Here is the link to Westonbirt:

Wow…what absolsutely wonderful photos, well done Mike.
He’s managed to capture Mother Nature at her best, this is my favourite time of year, the colours are magnificent, I just wish it would stop raining!!

Thanks, Sue.
Unbelievably it hasn’t rained here for days… I suppose I shouldn’t say that. But the ground is so sodden from all that’s gone before I still can’t get out and work on it.
How beautiful! You’ve made me want to don my walking boots and go out in search of colour, especially as today is such a grey day here:)
Thanks, Rosie.
Grey here too. The colour is beautiful but oh so transient. There is an acer that I can see from my study window. It was full of bronze and gold leaves yesterday. Overnight half of them fell off.
Just wonderful. Beautiful trees in all their glory. Thank you so much. We have just as lovely colours here as in any other part of the world!!!
It’s inspired me to start off an ‘Acer Glade’ of my own. So far, three. But they’re a bit on the small side… 🙁
love this time of year, stunning pictures but i now need to visit your blog later today with a cuppa and read about your ghostly adventures – i am a bit behind with your news! x
Hi Tracy, great to hear from you & welcome back. This must be a busy time of year for you too..
Thank you for your visit to my blog 🙂
These Autumn scenes are just perfect. I have struggled to get some interesting photos of Autumn this year…
Hello CherryPie, and welcome to rusty duck.
Your blog is lovely, and a pleasure to visit.
Yes, it has been an odd year, but Westonbirt is the place to go for real autumn colour.
I love any and all maples. Exquisite photos!
Maples are only grown ornamentally here, as at Westonbirt. I have planted a few, two of which are currently vivid red! But they’re only very small. Your autumn colour is so much better, I’m always envious! Thanks Natalie.
