"I cannot endure to waste anything so precious....

...as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house." Nathaniel Hawthorne

A walk around our hilltop escarpment reveals that autumn is now slowly making her colourful entrance.

There is an idyllic arcadian landscape, not too far from where we live, that is especially stunning during the autumn season.

As soon as we can manage a whole day out, walking boots will be packed, not forgetting to take a picnic, then off we shall go.

It looks as if the birds are going to be well fed during the winter. There are so many large clusters of berries hanging on the trees.
