Autumn is coming.

 Autumn is making it's approach.

You can feel it in the air and see it in the trees.

Storm Amy, the first named storm of the autumn / winter gave the trees a good shake. And the trees, delighted to be unburdened by the heavy load of their foliage, discarded as much of that burden as possible.

Leaf litter now carpets the garden; peppering the grass and sticking - wet and soggy - to all the exterior surfaces; summer-house, greenhouse, tables and chairs.

As a photographer, I welcome the coming season; its rich colours promising great opportunities for the hungry lens. But the heralding of Autumn means that winter will follow close behind: that wee chill in the air will turn to a biting cold.

But I'm ahead of myself; the vagaries of winter are not yet upon us, so I intend to enjoy as much of the autumnal months which lie ahead.
