The leaves are falling

Out on the village pond today. Horse chestnut and lime tree leaves.

A spiky little visitor to our garden this morning.

Autumn beauty

Went down to the 'new' woods this morning to look for some autumn colour. Most of the trees were still mostly green, with some leaves starting to turn yellow, but this one stood out in its fiery brilliance. It's some sort of maple, but exactly what sort I'm not sure.
