Walking home today after a mix weather day of rain showers, clouds and sudden bursts of lovely sunlight.
Luckily it was dry on the walk home from work, and the evening light was lovely, so I walked through the old bone orchard to take some snaps of the old chestnut tree.
Most of the trees are still rich with summer greenery, but you can see brown and gold leaf colouring sneaking in as autumn slowly arrives, and in the case of this chestnut tree, autumn is pretty far advancedeven by the second day of September.

Underneath a Spreading Chestnut Tree, Oh How Happy We Could Be

[ENG] The Chestnut forest of El Tiemblo (Ávila, Spain) it is a small forest of municipal property placed to approximately 1.100 m. of altitude in the header of the Reservation of Iruelas's Valley, to approximately 100 km from Madrid. It is the most extensive chestnut forest of the Central System, and on the autumnal station -the most showy and colouring- its paths are crossed by numerous visitors. Along the route we will be able to observe different species of trees and shrubs that they accompany on the chestnut-tree or form a part of the undergrowth of the chestnut forest (white hawthorn, hazel, elm of mountain, cherry, willows, holly, alder-tree, birch, heathers, ferns...). A section of the path passes parallel to the creek of the throat of the Yedra (Ivy), with it waters down all the year round and with a row of alder-trees that forming a small forest of gallery they wind close to the creek. With luck we can contemplate some species of birds of forest character (mocking-bird, blue climber, blackbird, thrush...).
[ESP] El Castañar de El Tiemblo (Ávila) es un pequeño bosque de propiedad municipal situado a unos 1.100 m. de altitud en las laderas de la Reserva del Valle de Iruelas, en la cabecera de la garganta de la Yedra, a unos 100 km. de Madrid. Es el castañar más extenso del Sistema Central, y en la estación otoñal –la más llamativa y colorida- sus senderos son recorridos por numerosos visitantes. A lo largo de la ruta podremos observar diferentes especies de árboles y arbustos que acompañan al castaño o forman parte del sotobosque del castañar (majuelo, avellano, olmo de montaña, cerezo silvestre, sauces, acebo, arraclán, abedul, brezos, helechos, ...). Un tramo del sendero discurre paralelo al arroyo de la garganta de la Yedra, con agua todo el año y con una hilera de alisos que formando un pequeño bosque de galería serpentean junto al arroyo. Con suerte podemos contemplar algunas especies de aves de carácter forestal (arrendajo, trepador azul, mirlo, zorzal...).

The gardens at Kew were established just over 250 years ago - there are many old and unusual trees here.
Hokkaido is being hit by a strong wind storm today (and rain, though we haven't had much here in Kitahiroshima yet - we're expected to get 100mm of rain today). This is a time-lapse (12x) video of the wind this morning.

Zoom view of chestnuts on the chestnut tree across the road from our house this morning. A few of the chestnuts never dropped (even though eventually their contents did) and now they collect snow, making the tree look as if it has brown and white balls stuck on it.
The Leaning Tree beside Dallas Road along Victoria's waterfront was cut down, Friday, August 2, 2019.
Here's a juxtaposition of the tree the day before and one from 1920.
