Is it technically early Autumn? I guess I measure autumn by the colours in the trees and not by the calendar. What I can see here at Skelwith Fold in the Lake District is a mixture of Autumnal changes. Some trees have totally lost their leaves already. Some haven’t even started to turn while others are half in and half out of summer to autumn foliage. It’s really a mixture of colours and for a few moments this afternoon I captured this scene a moments walk from my front door.
Each year I tend to revisit the same locations and see how they change as autumn comes and eventually turns into winter. In Capture Lakeland Volume 2 I documented a small Fern on the side of an old Quarry in Borrowdale and in fact enjoyed that process of revisiting. Maybe I’ll do the same with this scene here.
I’m hoping to see as much of the Lake District as I can this autumn so here’s hoping the weather will be kind, my energy levels will allow me the privilege of sticking at it and the frost and wind stay away just long enough to keep the leaves on their trees as they begin to and indeed change.
The next 3-4 weeks will be the highlight of my photographic year and it is this period of time that I wait all year for. Here’s hoping for a positive and fruitful Autumn here in the Lake District.
