Autumn's coming...

This morning seemed typical of an autumn morning in so many ways - even the bird song has changed, and robins seemed to predominate with a tune that has definitely become the one we hear in winter rather than summer. The sky was clear and blue, but looking upwards through the trees it was noticeable that the leaves overhead are changing colour. Underfoot it was damp with a heavy dew, which was clinging to the grasses and few remaining flowers. It also makes you realise what a great deal of activity goes on in the Wood during the night (not the human kind, unsuitable for this blog), but spiders for example, with a frenetic weaving of webs between branches and twigs. These will break down and disappear during the day, but reappear tomorrow, noticeable only when misted with dew. CA
