Thought we'd have a good couple of weeks for this, watching the leaves turn. Think you'd all better get snapping

They might all be gone by the end if tomorrow if the gales actually happen

so no pictures of autumn gales bringing trees down then or wading through flood water, road closed signs etc? thought tomorrow's commute could bring some interesting photos...

Don't think most will risk going out..........wimps

don't get any choice tomorrow. Tuesday is college day, sadly my route is prone to flooding, road closures, and fallen trees... been there, done that before... plenty of time to be allowed and full waterproofs, plus the ability to carry your bike over an assault course is essential because the only alternative is a NSL dual carriage way called the A556 (Manchester - Chester road for those not knowing...)

So far the leaves seem to being blown off before any spectacular colour is developing, mostly a few buttery yellows, not really any reds yet!

You do realise, you've just used everyone's excuse.

Wonder what they'll come up with now

Same as the red I found, Virginia Creeper, that's the only red leaves I've seen, my maples are just beginning to get a reddish tinge.

Total gridlock!

I give you Autumn:
Summer's over, the band have packed up and gone.
The hanging baskets lie withered and neglected
as the last few rays of weak milky sunlight fall on the golden leaves.
The year quietly slips away.
