England Autumn



Interestingly enough, England does not sport a lot of fall colours.  As you drive through the countryside you see some reds and a few yellows, but they are generally muted.  They have an u nusual pine tree that turns yellow but all in all, it is nothing like the colours in the Rocky mountains this time of year.

However, the church, as usual, has planted trees that do express the Fall colours.....this is the view from our offices and apartment.

We have watched this tree slowly turn until it has now become a flaming red.

The grounds surrounding us and the temple are as colorful as anything we have seen.

The prettiest parking lot around!

  1. I love Autumn and I love trees, years ago the ancient English trees were meeting places before we built Town Halls etc. My family have links to the famous Ankerwyke Yew at Magna Carta Island, the Monmouth Chestnut tree in Somerset and the Tolpuddle Sycamore tree in Dorset. I wound love to see the trees in the Rocky mountains. Joyce Kilmer got it right in her 1913 verse "Poems were made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree" The ancient Celts had a symbol called the tree of life knot which has no end. If you like what I'm saying there is much more in my unique book called TURNER TREES it is also on Kindle. Best wishes
