Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness

 A set of shots taken on a misty walk around St Ives Country Park in Bingley. There was just about enough colour on the trees to still give the impression and feel of autumn. Lots of webs and fungi about as well.

It was very quiet though, I only saw one horse rider and a handful of walkers, not that I'm complaining. Had a coffee in The Ivy Kitchen to warm me up on my return.






























Autumn at St Ives Estate

 Fall, Leaves, Fall

Emily Brontë

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.


A seriers of photos I've taken on my last few visits to St Ives Estate in Bingley. The fist series of photos were taken in Cuckoo Nest Woods and the later ones were taken on a walk up to The Druids Alter.
