Autumnal


How are you all, good I hope? It's been a while partly because we've been out and about so much revelling in the mild weather, and also because my phone lost all my recent pictures. Oh well hey ho, maybe its time to finally move to a smart phone! 



These are some autumnal images that I managed to save from a sunny day. I love being close to water and luckily in south Cornwall there are lots of creeks, rivers and inlets as well as miles and miles of coast.



Aren't these branches great? These sessile oak trees are smaller and more twisty than the traditional English oak and look great when their leaves start to fall. They are more common in Cornwall and create a beautiful landscape. Oak trees also support more wildlife than any other native tree. 



Low sun, calm waters, it's getting chillier. Time to wrap up and head for home. Have a great week!

  1. It's interesting to see how your coastal, southern autumn compares to our northern one. It's certainly beautiful - love that last photo of the reflection. x

  2. It's been great this year, hardly any mizzle yet which is a relief. The beech trees are looking beautiful. We do miss out on snow though, recently some real life 'fairies' covered a school in Cornwall with actual snow as a surprise for the children, some had never seen snow before! Have a great weekend x

  3. Hi Antonia! Now it's my turn! Love the photo of the sessile oaks - never seen them before and they are beautiful, especially in skeletal form! And your last photo of the water and reflection of houses along the waterside is stunning! Thank you! Amanda x

  6. Thanks for dropping by Chelsea, I've just been over to visit your blog and been admiring your lovely family and the beautiful Stateside scenery. I've also put 'body crayons' on my list for Christmas stockings this year! x
