Today's aim was `Autumn Colours` and a visit to Christchurch Park was our first port of call. We were blessed with some sunshine, which we had feared would not arrive. So we managed to take a few images, which hopefully tell the story of the Autumn scene.
As you enter the park, one of the first areas you come across is the large pond, and this is where these first three images were taken - complete with Armistice Day wreaths around the perimeter fence. The small high level cloud adding to the image I felt.
Then a couple taken elsewhere around the park.
Individual leaves looking beautiful in the morning light. With the image below taken as we exited one of the pathways, giving a tunnel effect.
These next few images were taken in Holywell Park, another of the beautiful Ipswich parks.
Holywell park also has a pond and it was covered in algae in which this Coot sat!
Another wider image of the pond.
Then, just to compare the pond in other years, an image I took two years ago of roughly the same position. This time - real water!
So, a lovely few hours out amidst the autumn colours. Enough to lift anyone's spirits, I would have thought.
