It's been lovely weather for walking and we've been doing just that, both in town, as above, and along the canal, as below. The autumn colours haven't been as good as in recent years, presumably because it's been too warm or dry or something.
There have been a couple of frosty mornings but these Michaelmas daisies seem undeterred.
As do these thistly things.
It must have been a while since we walked along there: these chaps have now appeared beside the path. They look a bit disapproving.
The sun was very low in the sky as we ended our walk and it was still only 3pm, though of course the clocks have gone back so it felt like 4 o'clock really.
Isn't it splendid to be retired and have the freedom to do this sort of thing? How lucky are we?
I enjoy being able to walk/run any time of the day. Although we've had a beautiful fall, we also have spectacular colors, in spite of our predominantly evergreen trees. It must be cold at night.
ReplyDeleteVery!! I am made to be retired, only 18 years to go!
