The last supermoon of 2020, taken as it rose over All Saints Church, Laughton-en-le-Morthen, near Rotherham, England.
The delightfully named Tuetoes is an area within Laughton Woods, Lincolnshire. It's not far from my front door and I spend a lot of time walking its extensive network of paths, always finding something new. I clapped my eyes on this scene very early autumn, two silver birches 'dancing' amongst the Scot Pines. Scot Pines, I find, tend to be more open than other plantations, so you get a bit more light, a carpeting of bracken , and nice clean trunks, which make for a less chaotic scene. I returned to the scene several times, preying for peak colour on the birches and some mist. A few days before storms arrived and stripped the leaves I got what I was hoping for.

This is All Saints church in the northern Lincolnshire village of Laughton., viewed from across the fields in the lovely May sunshine.
This is the beautiful English countryside in the south of Leicestershire, a few miles from Market Harborough. A mile or so in the distance is the village of Theddingworth while behind the camera are the Laughton Hills.
Laughton Woods was planted after the First World War to replenish wood stocks and covers about 800 ha. It includes broadleaf woods and new plantations. It's about 10 minutes drive from my front door and I've been going there for about 2 years, but it never ceases to surprise me. Deep in the plantations I found this Beech Avenue a few weeks back. I've waited for the mist to arrive, hopefully before autumn ended. I lucked out, and although some of the leaves and colour had gone, it still glowed with autumn magnificence.
Getting up for sunrise is a task at this time of year, it's so early. But the magic four letter word in the forecast.....mist....got me up. A lone dead tree in a clear felled area of Laughton Woods, Lincolnshire.
Saddington Village and reservoir from the Laughton Hills.
Bradgate Park is in the middle of the horizon behind the village, about 15 miles from here
Same two trees as Sibblings shot 3 days before from the opposite direction in foggy conditions with flat light....the frost was also much heavier. I think I prefer the feel of this version. Nr Laughton Woods, Lincolnshire.
Took a short but very nice walk with my partner and the dogs from the village of Mowsley across the fields to Laughton.
Old buildings dominate Laughton with currently only two modern buildings situated in the village.
This is a view of St Luke's church and the restored thatched mud wall.
There's a row of cottages opposite the church that have parts dating back to medieval times. The church itself dates back to the 13th century.
Despite the summer heat there have been one or two mornings when the mist has come out to play, such as yesterday. Seems strange to be stood at 6 in the morning with shorts and tee shirt on whilst shooting misty scenes! And you don't have to get up ridiculously early for local stuff, always a bonus.

Wouldn't be Autumn without the yearly visit to my favourite Beech tree avenue, Laughton forest, Lincolnshire, England.
The forecast this morning was for clear skies and mist, so I headed out for dawn at Laughton Woods. Initially there was a blanket of cloud overhead and no mist, but I hung around after sunrise. Glad I did, the sky broke and as the sun came out mist arrived. On the walk back to the car I passed a plantation which had been part cleared...normally it wouldn't grab my attention. It's a subtle shot but the mist hugged the ground and hung in the tree tops, leaving the Silver Birch to stand out in contrast to the pines. Like I say subtle, but I think it might be my favourite autumn shot this year.
