While out, I noticed we still have mooring narrow boats ("Barges") although less than the summer months apart from encountering Anglers with their rods and tackle boxes but this scene with the reflections, autumnal colour and stillness appealed to me.

Again using a wider aperature and the telephoto end of the zoom lens helped to keep the focus on what the picture is about

More berries

 

As we exit November and prepare tomorrow to set our watches and clocks back to GMT , the berries are all out here having been out today and here 's a good example.

This was focussed by hand and by exploting the narrow depth of field this Nikon 24-85mm ED zoom lens has available the background desolves beautifully in a pleasant shade of green.

Memories

 

Things you loved: Gathering leaves at camp either for arts and crafts like making a Leafman with arms and legs or maybe lighting a fire (but do take care!)

Two's company

 One great thing about life in this district is there are dotted about smallholdings jetting out from the sprawl making seeing scenes such as this a great rewarding experience.

An adventure in the trees

 

Berries

Just in time for birds and certain mammals, juicy berries growing here  and part of a lens test session one day.
 

Will this be the conquerer?

 

Somethings are running early this year such as Acorns and yes Conkers that we loved playing with in the autumn as boys old boot laces fastened through a bored hole and suitably hardened.
