Last day of September and although a brisk East wind is still blowing, the sun shines from a clear, blue sky and it’s a beautiful day.
We drive to Plan d’Eau at Marville to find Autumn’s colours really starting to show. We view the man-made lake from different angles than on our usual visits.
The dam at the far end is interesting and surrounded by such pretty scenes…

The colourful trees from the top of this blog post from the other side of the lake.
A blaze of autumn colour glowing in sunshine.
Lov ely photos of the autumn trees - there seem to be more each year of the ones which change gradually . Spectacular!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alison. It's wonderful to see the autumn colours - they seem to be arriving in a rush this year!
