Autumn colour

 Cold nights have brought some bright colour to the leaves. There is as much foliage on the ground now as remains on the trees. (And my compost bay is full to overflowing!)

A view of the road that runs through the village where we walk every day. It is lovely to kick through the dry leaves.

  1. Like you, I love kicking through dry leaves! I don‘t go into large heaps as I do not want to disturb any small animal that might be sheltering underneath, but when leaves are covering the path, it is nice to rustle about in them.
    And the colours are simply gorgeous!

  2. I love kicking through dry leaves too, but generally tend not to, not out of concern for small animals but because of something else that might be deposited under them.

  3. I am quite sure that kicking up the leaves is an innate human condition. Is there anyone who is not irresistibly drawn to doing it?

    1. I watched the junior school children coming home, all happily kicking up the leaves as their mothers dragged them along!

  4. I am a big kid when it comes to leaf kicking. A while to wait here.

  5. Autumn is a beautiful time of year. I can't imagine not living in a place with changing leaves & changing seasons. Your walking path is gorgeous! ~Andrea xoxo

    1. I know I moan a lot about the weather, but, like you, I do really enjoy living in a place with different seasons.

  6. In my youth I kicked autumn leaves without let or hindrance. Today the leaves covered the grass verges of our housing estate so evenly, almost like a crust, that I was disinclined to disturb their symmetry. We get older and we do different things.

    1. I used to spend a lot of time climbing and swinging about in trees. I don't/can't do that anymore. Yes, we get older and do different things, but I'm still part child and like to kick through the leaves.
