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
Debris from conifer logging
Fungi, feather, leaf
Oakleaves in stages of decay
A stand of pines
Logged pines left to decay in planned management
Multicoloured beautiful beech tree
Returning to the earth - the circle of life
Cathedral of the trees
Sunlight after shower
On the way home - looking across the fields
A sumach glowing through the gate of a private garden
More glorious leaf colour
If I need to post a letter - hedgerow post box
The Great Oak
Home again!
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!
