Autumn is here

This is from a walk along the Darent Valley today. It was a fine Autumn day - blue sky, gentle breeze, not too hot (around 17-18°C) - and I noticed the trees on the hill showing the first signs of the new season. As usual, this repays viewing large on black.

Many thanks to all who have commented and fav'ed over the past few days - I read every comment and they are all appreciated.

Beautiful picture, but I don't love autumn despite its colours. Better the light and heat of summer

A lovely autumn scene - today's weather here has been like April with showers and sunshine.

A typical early autumn scene. I love all the seasons and they all offer great photo opportunities

A lovely autumn English country scene Peter. I can seen the hint of the change of leaf colour. You have a blue sky - it's been dull here most of the day and now the wind is starting to blow and it's raining.

Lovely rural scene. I had the impression you lived in London, but clearly you are somewhere prettier. Autumn is a delightful season, isn't it?

@casablanca I live in Southeast London, just within the M25 boundary. It's about a 20 minute drive to get here to the Darent Valley (and 30 minutes on the train the other way to get to the Southbank).

@peadar Ah, you're not that far away then! I'm right by the M25 on the east side. Darent Valley looks lovely on your photos.
