Beautiful Autumn

 The cherry tree is losing its leaves

Misty mornings


We don't have the spectacular reds and oranges seen in the US and Canada


but we do have lovely golds


Elsewhere

look at these huge clods of soil that have just been turned over.
All the other fields were ploughed weeks ago.


And the tiny fungi that I posted about a few weeks ago


have grown into these


and these are growing on the other side of the tree stump,
aren't they impressive.

    1. They are, and I've seen more on our walks lately. Maybe it was the wet spring we had.

  3. That mushroom patch is quite incredible. I wonder why it likes that spot so much…

    1. Hello Marie. They are growing on an old tree trunk so I think it could be rotting tree bark.

  4. You still have pretty tree colors. For the most part, ours just turn brown.

  6. We really only get the red leaves from Red Maple and Japanese Maple trees. Fungi are always fun!

    1. I did think about checking them out to see if any are edible, just out of curiosity, I wouldn't risk it even if they were though!!

  7. There are some pretty spectacular colours here in Belfast too. Lots of amazing reds. Our cherry tree has just been pruned, so there far fewer leaves to sweep up!

    Those fungi are extraordinary. We're getting a lot of fungi on our lawns, but nothing so dramatic!

    1. My cherry tree is almost naked now, I have collected 4 bags of leaves. I think it's been a bumper year for fungi.
