I really enjoy the autumn sunlight. It is less harsh and more gentle on the eye and the landscape it illuminates. The light was a at the back of these faded Bracken (Pteridium aquilinum) fronds when I took the image.

Another one from last autumn. I love how the colour of the flowers of Hydrangeas change with the seasons.

Walking by the river early yesterday morning, I was so taken by the autumn sun and how it filtered through the autumn oak leaves.

These Sweet Chestnut leaves are now fallen but no less beautiful as they form a drift beneath the tree, catching the morning sunlight and accentuating their form and detail. They will gradually disappear over time as fungi break them down, or earthworms will tug them down into their subterranean burrows to use as food.

Like all living organisms, including ourselves, from nature they come, and back to nature they go.
