Continuing our walk of 21st October. From atop Mousehold Heath we now descend through the trees and down to the river. The mist has cleared. The sun shines from a clouded sky. Enjoy…

The trees are late in turning colour this year; we’re noticing it everywhere

Just a yellowing of leaves… even the bracken is retaining its colour away from the sun

Ah! But this hidden flame is surely an ‘alien’ maple! It’s on the edge of the heath, close to gardens

River Wensum… and her swans (5 cygnets, seen several times this summer as we’ve passed along the river)

We must leave the river to cross the bridge…

I think no one has done it with intention to destroy. You don’t destroy your own home. But there are a lot of money-blinded people in the world

Thank you. The 3rd pic? That’s all one tree. A silver birch. I love the contortions the silver birch manages to mangle itself through

I didn’t realize it was one tree, it’s beautiful.

I think the main trunk had been cut, and these trunks have grown from the bole. It’s the principle of coppicing

Climate is always changing, nothing new there. Just… we’re kinda hurrying it along. In early 1970s the fear was a return of Ice Age, and certainly the extremes of weather would suggest it. But it seems we’ve turned that around, heading in the opposite direction. And I cry for what’s happening worldwide

Oh my goodness. These are gorgeous. That bridge shot could be sold as a jigsaw puzzle; everyone who buys it will stare at the reflective water, imagine walking the old bridge, and hear the autumn leaves in the wind. -and you get to see it in your own backyard!

If you compose the photo right, they can lead the viewer’s eye to where you want, without the viewer being aware
