Those are some beautiful photos 🙂 Isn’t it great to live in a place where fall is so colourful?
love the horsechestnut leaves. Really pretty! Did you notice as many conkers this year? some of the local trees have none at all, yet other years they had hundreds! Loved the harvest photos too. I have a few of my own to put up soon. x
We haven’t managed to find any conkers, but did see a few empty shells, so I assumed everyone else just beat us to it …. but maybe there are much less this year.
Hi JM –
Oh, you’d have me choose? Erm, I’m terrible at this for I think all of your photos are lovely. I miss summer, but the changing of the leaves is so interesting! The cooler weather awakens a desire in me to stay home, snuggle in and CRAFT!
