Autumn by

I truly love the deep warm colours of Autumn…..

This photograph was taken on an early morning wander through the magical land of Savernake Forest in Wiltshire, England. There was an early morning mist that slowly lifted as the sun shone through the canopy of the trees, revealing the most mystical setting.

No matter what stresses are going on in our lives, it is important to take time out and go somewhere to escape the trials and tribulations. Savernake forest is my ‘escape’, my place to walk alone and and be free, my place to open my heart and fill my lungs, my place to simply be “me”.

This was one of those moments where everything was just perfect. One of those amazing autumnal mornings. A truly special morning and, to capture the moment, all I had to do was press the trigger on the camera…………

    This capture should be a plate in a fairy tale book – absolutely gorgeous

  • Thank you Chris :o) This is just the perfect time of year for being in a forest. The colours are just starting to turn. I always find that early in the morning everything feels magical.

    I think it’s interesting to see the type of tree’s and landscape in other countries because it differs so much from mine (well even travelling to different areas of the state let alone the country yields a different landscape). Beautifully shot as always! Looks like the perfect climbing tree

  • I agree, we kinda get complacent with what we have around us because we see it every day. I always love watching films of the USA and looking at the trees… it is just so different from what we have here. Thank you for your lovely comment SMV ;o)

  • I always feel the same, my imagination runs wild when I am in a location like this.
