This year we have more vibrant Autumnal colours than usual but this is not widespread. I have spotted isolated trees like this one - I think this is a Sycamore (a relative of the Maple? But do not quote me on that!)
Hope you enjoy it like I did.
 This one I gave a slight boost to the contrast.
Both had some USM applied then a slight second pass of USM - IMO it just gave a little more gentleness to the sharpening.

Hi
We can enjoy these colours all the more because they are rarer and not as regular as they are for our cousins across the pond.
Though that is not to say, that one day I would like to see the "Fall colors.." over there. |

I have been trying to take shots of Autumn colours for the last 3 weeks. Every where I go, I see green trees, with the exception of 1 or 2. I normally see them along the roads. I hope it doesnt suddenly turn and drop in 1 week!
Any ideas on where to go in the Surrey / Hampshire area. |

Nice shots Visitor (and yes it is a maple).
Apparently, we're in for a stunning display this Autumn which is due to the lack of moisture during the summer. Paradoxically it seems, despite the drought, trees have also produced more fruit than ever before. I've noticed this and an abundance of horse chestnuts and other seeds too.
I'm going to try and grab some shots while the sun still shines and leaves are still on the trees.

Came back from Turkey Friday morning and the trees on the drive back to my house (near Newbury) were stunning. So on Sunday my wife and I went to Stourhead Gardens in Wiltshire. Hoping for a blaze of colour I was a little dissapointed as the further West we travelled the colours of the trees seemed to be declining. Anyway, I did manage to take about 80 odd shots and have put just a few up so far. You are all invited to have a peep

Great photos - Saturday was much the better day for the sunshine and it makes a lot of difference. Thanks for sharing

Hi All
Great to see what else others are spotting around the British countryside.
And a warm welcome to our friends across the water - haven't we got some great colours this year, a bit like you have every year!
And to chinstrap & paynekj - Stourhead looks great, I am sure I visited there some years ago - either that or the view out of the Grotto is very like some other great house.
Thanks for the feedback. |

oh dear, have I jumped onto the Autumn bandwagon too late?
Sorry if you're all bored of autumn leaves now!
