Signs Of Autumn

I've been trying to hold on to summer for as long as I can this year, I'm just not ready to slip in to autumn yet after the cold, wet year we've had. There's no denying it any longer now that the trees are changing colour though.

These photos were taken on our walk in the grounds of Temple Newsam on Sunday. Such gorgeous colours, but it does confirm that autumn's definitely here.

Another giveaway that autumn's here is the fungi. It seems to be growing everywhere at the moment, I've even got it popping up in my lawn. These photos were also taken on our walk.

I'm fascinated with fungi, but don't know very much about it so can't tell you what kind it is, though it looks kind of like a large brain.

It won't be long now until there's crunchy leaves underfoot and the trees are bare. I do hope we're not in for a harsh winter this year.
