Autumn Leaves

Between 1988 and 1990 I was lucky enough to play alto saxophone in a swing band, I wasn't very good to be honest and I didn't play for long enough to really develop any skill but it was always a real buzz to play on stage.  I know this blog is about photography but when I decided on the title for today's post I remembered one of the tunes I really enjoyed playing so here's a link to Autumn Leaves played by Miles Davis which is well worth a listen.

Back to the photos though... Today I am posting a few more shots from my morning walk in Delamere Forest on Saturday.

The first one is a splash of colour, as I was setting up to take this picture the peace was shattered firstly by a Jay crying out in alarm and then two dogs barking at me, I greeted the dogs but they continued barking and kept a safe distance from me.  Their owner commented "don't mind them, they've never seen anything like you before"  I didn't quite know how to respond to that so I wished her a good morning and got back to taking pictures.

The second image was taken from underneath the trees in the first one looking along the path which I followed into the forest.

The third picture has less vibrancy with predominantly green shades and just a slight hint of orange, giving promise perhaps of richer colours to come.
