Celebrating my third autumn in England,
this year has been the most beautiful by far
Maples (acers) and virginia creepers are clothed in crimson
Beech trees dot the landscape in copper
while birch's paintbrush is dipped in amber
I am told Canadian soldiers from WWII planted many of the maples
in southeast England to remind them of home
I feel the trees giving a last yawn of color
before they cozy-down for bed,
preparing for their awakening in Spring

Gorgeous, Laura! Thanks for sharing those beautiful colors...especially for those of us in an almost Autumn-less climate (it was 90 yesterday for our fall party...complete with chili and cornbread!).
Beautiful photos. Looking forward to your photos as winter and Christmas happen. Loved my cold Christmas's in London. Now we spend the day at the beach - crazy!
What lovely images, Laura. I love the first one with the welcome sign in English and in French! What a beautiful idea for the Canadian soldiers to have planted maple trees to remind them of home! I love your last shot too of the trees and their reflection in the water.
We were under snowfall over the weekend and all the leaves were covered in snow! The sun has since reappeared, but the temperatures remain low for the season.
Those colours are totally amazing, I dream about finding somewhere with colours such as this to walk through and take photos of! I think I'll start a plant maple trees campaign! Suzy x
Such pretty colours, al your photos are so lovely.
Hi Laura,
great that you´ve found my blog und that you want to follow me :-))You´re very welcome :-)) Thank you for your comment! I want to visit you as well. I love Great Britain so much, and now I have the possibility to see pictures from there more often! (And learn the language a bit more...)
Enjoy the day :-))

Beautiful! Utterly beautiful!
Enjoy xox
Yes it's a great display this year! Ada :)
Beautiful photos Laura, and I agree this has been the most colourful Autumn for me too...perhaps the milder weather has helped. I must admit, I do look for the reds...not so much of it around here in England..more yellowy golds...Robx
These are some beautiful Autumn color photos. You really got some great shots.

Absolutely gorgeous!! Interesting fact too about the Canadian soldiers, can't say as I blame them. I'd plant maples here in South Texas but I don't think they'd do well in the heat :o(
Absolutely beautiful. The best of the show is pretty much over here in the Midlands, but further south you will still get another week or two.

truly beautiful, laura.
Absolutely beautiful! You have captured autumn beautifully .... Hugs C. (HHL)
Wonderful autumn images Laura, this year is the best for a long time.
Beautiful.
Absolutely lovely photos, what part of England is this? What town did you find these gorgeous trees? I would love to see them...
Thanks, Tammy! Photo 1: Normandy, France; Photo 2 & 3: Winkworth Arboretum; Photo 4: Sherwood Forest, Nottingham
Lovely! Love the patch of red! Happy Fall!
I agree, the leaves have been especially lovely this autumn, I've loved watching them turn.
Last yawn of colour - I love that! What a great phrase. You're right, this year does seem to have been particularly good colour-wise. We've done plenty of kicking through the leaves - I never get bored of that!

Apparently you didn't miss the significance of pictures exponentially replacing words. These are stunning. I enjoyed the autumnal color this weekend here on the US east Coast. And Sandy just blew at us, nothing heinous.
Love to you over there,

So gorgeous there! Thanks for your visit and kind comment. Have a great weekend.
LOVE LOVE LOVING those brilliant colors in your photos! Stunning! Happy fall to you and your family!
These are some of the prettiest Fall trees I've seen. The colors are beautiful. This is my favorite season.
