All Change

It certainly made a refreshing change, to be able to get out and about for a long walk this morning.  So, we set out for a stroll through Shipley Park, up Shipley Hill, down to Osborne's Pond and back around Shipley Lake.
Everywhere, the colours of Autumn are beginning to take hold.

As always, it's those members of the Maple family, which provide some of the best colour and when seen against a bright blue sky, they are quite stunning.

The Derby Lodge on Shipley Hill has a wonderful Virginia Creeper growing up its walls and this too is currently providing a glorious splash of vivid red.

Things are certainly changing rapidly - Winter draws on!
