It's been a funny season this autumn. Too warm for the leaves to turn to a vibrant colour. The normal peak of colours just hasn't happened, but we took a trip today to Winkworth Arboretum, Nr Godalming, which has the benefit of a lake hoping for some good reflections. We drove in thick fog as we approached, and thought that we were wasting our time. The fog thankfully lifted just as we arrived. The sun made a brief appearance to provide enough light even if the conditions were not ideal.

| The first view of the lake, with a bit of mist still lingering in the trees |
 |
| And the first glimpse of the front of the "Boat House". |
 |
| Continuing around the lake, and a view now back to the Boat House |
 |
| The bank of trees which rises above the lake, and at last some blue sky. |
 |
| The Acers were the stars of the show today |
 |
| Gorgeous crimson Acer, with purple leaves of Liquidamber beyond. |

| This bench is NOT level! Man surrounded by Acers |
