Last weekend saw us out for a wonderful autumn walk at Trelissick Gardens just outside Truro.
Last time we visited we went into the formal Gardens and enjoyed the lovely Hydrangeas, you can see that post here. This time we followed the Woodland Walk through the trees down to Roundwood Quay on the river.
Autumn was in full blast.
Hips, haws, Blackberries and Holly
Stunning Fungi (cue jokes about my time in the woods with a fun guy!!)
Acorns and Sweet Chestnuts
although there were no Beech Nuts - perhaps it is too early for those.
Vibrant colours
Seeds, spores and dried flowerheads.
The bees where still busy, specially all over the Ivy. Ivy is a fantastic source of late season nectar for insects, I have carefully trimmed around the flowers in cutting back the Ivy in my garden. It also means that I have Ivy flowers for my Christmas wreaths.
The majority of the leaves were only just starting to change, but their faded hues reflected beautifully in the still water...
plenty to take pictures of.
Acorns and seaweed - an unusual combination!
Your post sums up everything good about Autumn!
ReplyDeleteI'm almost converted to liking Autumn - if only it didn't come just before winter and with the cold and rain!!
