The Arrival of Autumn - 2011

Carol has officially announced the arrival of Autumn here in London. Either that, or in her mystical Weather Lady ways, she has commanded it.








The days are getting shorter and cooler.






Leaves are suddenly all falling from the trees everywhere creating large blankets of gold and amber covering the ground.










We went to the Shoreditch Park one morning as the sun was just starting to rise. It filled the park with the most amazing light.







Everything was bathed in wonderful gold mist.











One can't help but appreciate the leaves all tinged with gold and red.






I've taken tons of pictures of the fall this year, and here are some of my favorites.


















Sadly, autumn being here means that the long cold dark winter isn't far behind. . .

Autumn in London

This autumn has been particularly lovely. It seems to have come on all at once with the leaves all suddenly turning yellow-orange and falling off the trees.




Where there had been pink cherry blossom snow, there is now yellow snow (ha ha).








The dogs have loved jumping through the fallen leaves.






Sadly, the trees will be barren soon, and winter will be here again.
