A green woodpecker

Today, Donna and I walked in light rain from our home to the Ambiance Cafe in the Riverside Park; it takes all of five minutes. The weather has turned much colder, yesterday I was able to work in the sunshine in the garden and it felt like summer. To do the same this afternoon would demand jeans and a warm, waterproof jacket.

Autumn colour

Glorious autumn colour

There are some lovely autumn colours around at the moment. These trees outside our local supermarket are looking really lovely. [Tweet this]

The weather has been very mild, much warmer than we expect in mid to late October, and the colours develop best when it's not too cold.

But this is nothing compared to some of the photos out there. Try this Google search to bring up some really glorious photos!

There's also a good Wikipedia article with more information on autumn colour for anyone interested.
