More rain, more trees. Despite the thick canopies above loads of rain still got through – and on to me… There is a real sense of autumn approaching which is a little sad as we never really got summer, ok there was a heat wave back in June/July for 5-7 days, I guess that really was it folks! Still, I love autumn. Like Spring the autumn is a time of change, changing colours, weather, light – everything! The landscape itself undergoes a dramatic shift from lush and green trees and tall grasses through to reds and oranges as the trees shed their leaves for the onset of winter. I’m caught between ‘I can’t wait!’ and ‘was that all we got for summer?!’ feelings…no looking back though; Can’t wait! (more…)

I’m not talking about ‘lots of water from the sky’ type changes, nor the resulting puddles of it collecting on the ground as I walk. No, I’m talking about the change in atmosphere around me and how could I possibly capture that on camera?! (more…)
