The Winter skyline

It's still cool as I type this and more to the point by later today and Saturday we are expecting snow to land here if the forecasters have got this right so we'll how getting out goes then I guess.

Technically it is Winter but as you can see some of the trees haven't lost their foliage looking magnificent in the low level sun, most crisp. 

Even where coverage is more spare those that are out look great as they turn to a golden colour.

Walking back yesterday I saw the birds gathering in the wood arguing about whose was having which tree quite loudly which was fun to observe for several minutes.

Contrasts

 Although it has been rather wet in the last few days although I was able to dodge heavy showers to explore, it has also been quite sunny too.

The impact of this season can be easily seen in this district and here is a good example of how the deciduous trees just lose their leaf covering across autumn ready for winter where their neighbouring trees which are not maintain full leaf coverage contrasting perfectly.

You can always tell when their are Oak Trees about and here we have a fair number of them which are popular with our grey squirrels at this time of year having seen his nutkins this Sunday morning going off with his acorns.
