Shades of Red

October has turned our garden hydrangeas from their pale summery pink into a glorious shade of cerise. 

Normally they turn green with just a hint of cerise.
A myriad of coloured leaves are showing themselves off on the Maple trees
Leaves as rich in colour as red hot chillies
In October we have enjoyed a veritable feast of scarlet sunrises and sunsets.
A walk in our local beech wood reveals, that in the main, the trees are still hanging on to their summer greens. Two or three weeks more and they should be showing autumn shades of amber and gold.


Just a hint of what is still to come can be seen.
