You Capture: Fall/Autumn

Fall (or Autumn as they seem to use exclusively in the UK) is my favourite time of year.
This is now my second Fall in England, but last year I was a bit overwhelmed with everything else happening (you know, that whole moving to another country thing) that I never really paid proper attention to the change in season.  This year, I'm realizing its really beautiful and love Fall more than ever.

I have seen these orange berries everywhere this Fall. 

I love all the different coloured leaves.

You can participate in You Capture too.  See what its all about here.

You Capture: Animals

My beautiful dog. 
Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character; and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man. 
--Arthur Schopenhauer (philosopher)

You Capture: Togetherness

This photo serves two purposes:   It makes up for last week's lack of flowers and is an interesting display of "togetherness" or maybe more of a juxtaposition, really.  I love that these summery bright flowers can grow directly in front of (what looks like) winter holly.
High-five, Nature!

You Capture: Flowers


Um... is a tree a flower?  Kind of?   Not at all?  Well, in celebration of today's Autumn Equinox it is.  Hooray for Fall!

You Capture: Misc

We recently stumbled across an 11th century church with a small cemetery which had an interesting mixture of period tombstones and modern ones.  I took a few photos.. Here's one of my favourites (after a bit of amateurish editing).

You Capture: Signs





Let's play a little game...  Anyone know where one can find these unusual signs less than 20 miles apart?
Hint:  N 50ish degrees latitude

You Capture: Mornings


Dear Morning,

Could you please come a few hours later each day?  Perhaps you could donate some hours to Night.  You know him - hes the one who lets people sleep without being interuppted by that horrible alarm that goes off each day to announce your arrival. 

I promise I would be kinder to you.  I might even be one of those foolish people who sit up in bed and remark how beautiful you are.  I imagine even you could be beautiful after 12 hours of sleep rather than eight.

Please let me know if you are willing to discuss this further.  I am available between the hours of 11am and 11pm. 

Kind Regards

Me.
