Early Autumn in Stanmer Woods

What a beautiful walk this morning – sunny and fresh with a crispness that promises cooler days to come.

The sun was throwing strong shadows around and Jessie stood still obligingly, enabling me to catch these shots. Notice how autumnal the ground looks.

Next the bottom half:

And finally a glimpse of the real thing:

It’s so beautiful here and it’s changing rapidly. The ground is providing Georgie with a damp bed of leaves to roll in at the beginning of each walk – the damper, the better!

Such a contrast to Tuesday which was wet, wet, wet – not many of us around that day but still a treat to be outside in the fresh air. We did get soaked though!

  1. Love those photos. Lucy and Leo are loving the weather here also. The temps are cooler, but the sun has been out. Which means lots of soaking up the sun on the back deck. And the cooler temps make for spunkier walks. Fall is our favorite time of year!

  2. I just discovered your blog – it’s wonderful!
