I ride past this field everyday when I ride my bike and I have been watching it get more intense in color...... this is the peek I believe!
Whilst the family were tobogganing on the Goodwood estate golf course, my eye was drawn to a tree at the very top of the hill. It struck me that it looked like a love-heart (soppy me!). It was brilliantly contrasted against the winter sky and the snow-laden ground. So took out my trusty old phone for a snap....I wish I'd had my DLSR with me, but hey the best camera is the one you have with you!!
A rather contemplative tree on the Monmouthshire & Brecon canal. It looks like it is pondering some deep and thorny issue.
There was just not enough room to back off to get all of this tree in the shot. Which was a shame as it was quite imposing and dominating its neighbours as we walked past. This shot taken at 16mm was the widest I could go, but still, the structure and stature is still impressive.
My soul can find no staircase to Heaven unless it be through Earth's loveliness.

One more from Tuesday morning, I loved the light pouring in from behind this set of trees so I crouched low to isolate them from the fields beyond.
Sometimes I take the most dull and boring images. That's when I ask myself, "OK, what can I do with this? Can I elevate it? Can I learn something from it? It's a throwaway, so I might as well explore." Then, I open my software and play. Sometimes I delete the image after I've sliced and diced it, but other times I feel happy with the result, like now, with these trees. They are no longer mundane. I've brought something out from them, or put something in.
Autumn, also known as Fall in North American English, is one of the four temperate seasons. Outside the tropics, autumn marks the transition from summer to winter, in September (Northern Hemisphere) or March (Southern Hemisphere). Autumn is the season when the duration of daylight becomes noticeably shorter and the temperature cools considerably. Day length decreases and night length increases as the season progresses until the Winter Solstice in December (Northern Hemisphere) and June (Southern Hemisphere). One of its main features in temperate climates is the striking change in colour for the leaves of deciduous trees as they prepare to shed.
Although colour change in leaves occurs wherever deciduous trees are found, coloured autumn foliage is noted in various regions of the world: most of North America, Eastern Asia (including China, Korea, and Japan), Europe, southeast, south and part of the midwest of Brazil, the forest of Patagonia, eastern Australia and New Zealand's South Island.
Eastern Canada and New England are famous for their autumnal foliage, and this attracts major tourism (worth billions of US dollars) for the regions.
This tree has seen many cold winters...
