Following an enjoyable visit to Stowe in the summer, we had great hopes of autumnal colour. Beyond the first avenue of trees, it was however a bit disappointing...... not the fault of Stowe, just the "wrong" weather this year to get the best out of the deciduous trees. A few nice areas though. It was very quiet, and only saw about a dozen people during our visit, so used them where possible, to add a bit of life to the landscapes.

Co-incidentally, it was also my "Blip birthday" as I was to
publish my 365 consecutive photograph on Blipfoto.com today. |
 |
| This tree bark was also very colourful. Hubby in the distance wit his tripod. |
 |
This large Beech tree was the star of the day. At least whilst the sun was shining. Later, we lost the sun
and the colour was gone. |
 |
| The large Beech also provided lovely shadows beneath. |
 |
| Good day for reflections too. |
 |
| Just 2 of only a dozen or so that we saw the whole time! |
 |
The sun came and went and at times the light went completely flat, but at this
point, great reflections and I liked the bit of grasses as foreground. |
 |
Set my tripod up here for 20 mins whilst we ate lunch. Kept hoping
that the sun might return to light up the carpet of leaves..... it never did. |
