It was another wet autumnal day today.

279/365 Love is... Autumn leaves

Continuing the autumn theme here, I added a heart shaped leaf from a shrub that hasn't shed its leaves yet to this arrangement. In thinking of a title I was reminded of a cartoon my late Dad liked years ago in the Daily Mail called "Love is..." created by New Zealand artist Kim Grove in the late 1960s. (See here for more details.) Whenever I see a Love is... cartoon I always think of my Dad.

277/365 Autumnal teabreak

This morning was a glorious autumn morning with sunshine and blue skies, and a brisk trade at the cafe at Darley Park. Jodie had an ice cream and I had a cuppa. The sun was warm, the colours were bright, dogs barked at squirrels or at each other, bacon butties and freshly buttered toast were the order of the day over the Sunday papers. As usual we went to the butterfly garden and the swings.

275/365 Love conkers all

Autumn is one of my two favourite seasons, I love it for the richness of colours and textures. And for collecting conkers just fallen from the tree.
