Golden

Just one photo this morning and one which was taken a few days ago as we walked back home following our ramble around Shipley Lake.  Leaving the footpaths of the Nutbrook trail and onto the paths of Shipley View, the first thing which greets the walker at the moment, is a wonderful Maple tree.  This beautiful specimen is always 'good value' but at present, the golden hues of its leaves as they carpet the ground beneath, are second to none.

Almost glowing in the half-light of a gloomy morning, the gold comes alive when the sun emerges from behind the clouds.  Just spectacular, even if a short-lived spectacle which will be gone all too soon.
