A return to my trees

autumn trees, British trees, to return to my trees, Welsh phrase about trees

I read this recently on Twitter and liked the idea so much that I just had to share:
‘The Welsh phrase “dod yn ôl at fy nghoed”, meaning “to return to a balanced state of mind”, literally translates as “to return to my trees”.’ Works for me!

Some of the splendid trees at Cardiff’s Cathays Cemetery displaying their glorious autumn colours. Better in person, obviously, but I hope you enjoy these magnificent trees as much as I did.

It’s been a week of almost constant rain and, despite my rain wear, I’ve had several drenchings. Fortunately, one of my cameras is waterproof so I can still take photos in the wet. Today it was the leaves that caught my eye and the incredible spectrum of browns.

Late autumn at Forest Farm

autumn, autumn colour, autumn leaves, autumn trees, Forest Farm, Forest Farm Nature Reserve

When anyone asks me what my favourite season is I can never decide because they each have their good points but, this year, our late-arriving autumn has certainly been magnificent. On Wednesday I caught the train to Radyr for a meander around Forest Farm Nature Reserve and it was sublime. From bright golden yellows to rustling red-browns, with some leaves still decorating spreading branches above my head and others carpeting the woodland floor beneath my feet, I spent a marvellous day, my eyes admiring, my feet kicking, my neck craning and all my senses spilling over. Ah, autumn!

Although it’s now late autumn, as the weather has been so mild, it’s only in the past couple of weeks that I’ve been seeing the change of seasons reflected in the trees around me on my meanders. So, here’s some glorious autumn colour from recent walks at Cosmeston Lakes Country Park.

Winding back the clock

Autumn always seems to go by far too quickly. I don’t get to see all the trees I really want to see and then I forget to share the trees I have seen. Hmmm, maybe that’s old age creeping up on me. All the more reason to wind back the clock a month and enjoy a little extra autumn colour.
