Autumn colours

Goosey put up a very nice photo of a colourful beech tree

and here in England the trees seem to be more colourful than usual:


This is one of our local woods where the oaks still have leaves but of different colours - other trees are bare while the alders are still green and willows yellowing.

Walking along the River Wye towards Bakewell there are even more contrasts: murky brown sycamore yellowing larch, beech in a very intense reddish colour and, of course, some conifers still green or silvery:



Quite a spectacular autumn really ... although still not up to the technicolour woodlands that you get in North America at this time of year ....
