Autumn Break.

Earlier this week I went to an arboretum, a trip I recommend to anyone with a passion for crunchy leaves and chunky knitwear, to enjoy the autumnal colours. Here's some of the pictures I took for all those who have to walk vicariously through the internet. 

I love trees. 

I am aware that this is fungus but I have to admire anything that can flourish in this economic climate, even if it is only for a short space of time, and on a tree. 

 Do Japanese Maples give syrup too? 

The only thing that could make this scene more picturesque would be some strategically placed sheep. If this were the Eighteenth Century I could hire someone to do that; its called Romanticism. 

Can it always be October?
