Though today was actually quite warm and humid, there’s no denying that autumnal feel in the air. The evenings are getting dark earlier; there’s an occasional hint of a heavy dew, if not quite a frost; the birds have already begun their migration south for the winter; and, on the trees and shrubs, the fruits are bright and bursting, the leaves beginning to turn. Happy Autumn to all in the northern hemisphere (and happy Spring to those down under)!

I’m moving house in a couple of weeks so I’ve started saying goodbye to some of my favourite local spots – not that I won’t ever see them again, as Roath Park will still be a short 30-minute train ride away, but now it’s just a 5-minute walk.

I’ve taken lots of photographs of Roath Brook in the 17 months I’ve lived in this area, mostly from a similar angle, standing on one bridge and looking towards the other, ’cause it’s just such a lovely scene. Here are just a few of those shots, mostly taken in autumn and winter as the leaves obscure the scene in spring and summer.
