We are at that period of late autumn when we get the best colours from the trees around us – so that is this weeks six on Saturday.
1. Oak is probably one of my favourite trees. We have a few young oak in our hedgerow and I have planted some acorns we collected a couple of weeks ago.

2. The beech hedge is turning from yellow to brown now, and is proving popular with the little birds particularly the blue and coal tits. It’s a great place to hide after you managed to get a whole peanut from the bird feeder!

3. Larch grows in the wood that borders the garden.

4. I love the way these willow leaves go banana yellow – we had three nights frost earlier in the week and they really start to yellow up after that.

5. Lots and lots of rain today – here a dying hazel leaf next to some new shots – a promise of spring to come.

6. And finally alder seeds – again covered in raindrops.

Thank you to The Propagator for hosting – Six on Saturday
The picture of the Alder seeds looks great! I love the way those little droplets are hanging off from them!

I suppose the fact we don’t get the really cold weather here is why we also don’t get the variety of colours. Autumn used to be my second favourite season after spring, but since moving to Cornwall I find it far too wet and grey…

Yes I can empathise with the wet and grey – it rained all yesterday but it is brighter this morning:)

There’s so much variety to choose from, but the beeches are one of my favourites.
