Autumn…finally

25/11/2011

Today I went for a little walk with my 550D after the school run. Because Orla has been so poorly in the last couple of weeks, I have barely left the house, so I decided I needed some fresh air and sun on my face. It’s so lovely to finally be seeing all the Autumn colours we have been waiting for. However, given the lateness of the season, sadly the leaves are falling as fast as they are turning, so that many of the trees are already fairly denuded. Alas, his year we will only get to enjoy all those lovely russet and golden hues for a very short while. But, I have managed to catch some lovely colours, and here are some of my favourite shots taken today, the rest have been added to my Autumn 2011 collection on Flickr.

Apple Affair…

15/10/2011

A couple of weekends ago, Luke Orla and I went to Apple Affair at West Dean Gardens in Singleton, which we felt might be the last of the family days out of this summer, and indeed it was. It was a glorious early October day, with the sun shining, and all was merry. Luke got his special apples (once eaten, the seeds will be saved and planted), though alas the beer ran out (they never have enough), and I got to wander around and take some pictures. Orla got her face painted, some treats, a parasol and much bouncing and jumping.

Breachfield Gardens – September 2011

Here are a selection of some of the shots I took at Breachfield Gardens (many thanks to Jeanette House and her family for the opportunity) when I was in Shaftesbury a couple of weeks ago, if you are interested in seeing them all, then check out the set on my Flickr account. Also, below is a slide show I made of some of the best which is on my YouTube account. Enjoy!
