As far as our weather forecasters are concerned, they now regard 1st September as the start of autumn, so this shot is to mark that.
While we were in Great Ayton on Monday, we followed a footpath south from the Waterfall Park. The idea was to get a view towards the northern edge of the high ground of the North York Moors, and take some photos of the hills. We also had a good look at the varied plants in the hedgerow beside the path, and spotted the lovely autumn colours in these leaves and berries.
Have you tried walking from Ayton to Gribdale which leads you to the Gribdale moor and you can get to Cooks Monument one way or a path opposite takes you over to Roseberry Topping. It is a bit of a hike but the view is spectacular.
Autumn already? I thought it start 23 september. Times flies. It could also be a result of the hot dry weather. Great shot of the berries and nice colored leaves.Fav.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I agree with those of you who think it's a little early to speak of autumn. It still feels very much like late summer! But our weather forecasters have decided that autumn starts for them and their forecasts on 1st September rather than the traditional 21st September.
Thank you - it will be interesting to see how the plants here react to cooler conditions and rain. I really struggle to deal with hot conditions, so I don't envy your 100+ degrees of heat.
