The entrance to the road through the woods
...and we return to Greenwich Mean Time here in the UK, I invite you to take a few steps with me along the walk I took through the woods this afternoon. It's unseasonally warm here at the moment, though more seasonally wet. So in-between the showers, this was how I spent a very enjoyable couple of hours. (Correction - not strictly in-between the showers.,..but those that caught me out found me sheltering under the canopy of leaves that were still on the deciduous trees, and the thick cover of the conifers!)
Right - have you got some comfortable shoes on? Come on, then...follow me!

Still green, but the beech leaves are falling
Logged pines left to decay in planned management
Multicoloured beautiful beech tree
Returning to the earth - the circle of life
On the way home - looking across the fields
A sumach glowing through the gate of a private garden
Thank you, thank you, Roz! What a pleasant seasonal walk. Several of the photographs are absolutely marvelous and it's just nice to get a clear sense of your neighborhood.

Thanks,luv. That was so nice. My feet are killing me after a full day of yard work getting ready for the autumn rain coming tonight. Your walk is just what I needed.

A favorite memory of ours is the spring that we spent in the UK where we had the time change . . . and then came home to OUR time change!

What gorgeous places you English have to walk! Loved the opening picture - looks much like driving down the lane to your Autumn Cottage! Such beautiful memories, dear lady.
