Some people walk in the rain.
Others just get wet.

Lovely photos DEW! The first one’s my favourite. Makes me want to get the old watercolour paints out.
Join the fun and banter of the monthly CET competition.

Everything taken together, here in Lincolnshire are more good things than man could have had the conscience to ask.

Current conditions (personal WS)
Ah ha! The red one looks to me like it could be a favourite of mine - the Raywood or claret ash tree (from Australia I think). It can be spectacular, if only for a day or two, as the colours vary with depth into the canopy.
As to autumn colour in general, well, its been spectacular here. I suspect the hard frost local valleys have seen has helped. Oak showing yellow, as opposed to the usual browns, and various reads and yellows in hazels and field maple. Non native acers have been amazing too.
Via Twitter, looks splendid but nothing showing as a link or direct photo here
Lovely photos Bolty! I do particularly love to see Autumn colours reflected in water!
Mainly just the Oaks retaining brown leaves here, some sheltered spots have a few more colours hanging on.
And now they're down floating on the pond
Although it's now closed to the public, the wolves remain at the wolf centre. Here's Mosi this afternoon - the foliage is wonderful at the moment!

What a beautiful photo-graph!
I do not know if I'm seeing a human look or that of a good-natured lion.
The definition of autumn on your feet.
And the dream of the same autumn just behind: blurred, endearing and encouraging.

Just had a browse through the thread. Some great pictures and a reminder how colourful this autumn was.
