It was a nice day for a walk in the park yesterday. I wanted to catch the colours before all the leaves fell to the ground. It was fairly windy so I hoped they hadn't already fallen. Thankfully no, still some spectacular sights to see. I took the first two pics as I passed someone's garden.
So many wonderful Autumn scenes, the light is fading, time to head home. Five miles added to my total walked. Click on a picture to enlarge and see a slide show. ilona
PS. I've had two phone calls this morning, one a recorded message supposedly from British Telecom, telling me my internet connection was going to be terminated today, the other a human voice with a foreign accent, said he was from Microsoft and asking about my computer. I don't think so. Ignore.
The Autumn colors are beautiful this year. I have got a nurse coming to see me this morning I would have had a lovely walk to day and it will take up a few hours.

Utterly beautiful, especially when not in your garden, all those leaves.
ReplyDeletebeautiful colours - love the autumn shades.
ReplyDeleteThe autumn leaf colours are glorious: shades of brown; plum and burgundy. Mother Nature is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. You are blessed
ReplyDeleteThank you Ilona for sharing your beautiful photos. You've caught the essence of Autumn wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall shots. Bloody scammers! In Canada one of the scammers is from our Taxation department - apparently it is so bad (we've gotten several calls) the real taxation department is having difficulty getting ahold of anyone for real tax cases, even when they mail out requests.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos. I had a 'BT' call too. Just ignored it.
ReplyDeleteThe Autumn is so thrilling- I feel so excited each day walking with my dogs who are full of fun enjoying the leaves,mud and chill in the air and the fresh and not so fresh smells x
ReplyDeleteIt's been such a glorious Autumnx

Nothing ever beats nature-the colours are amazing and uplifting to the spirit.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos Ilona. The autumn colours are spectacular at the moment. Maybe you could do a separate post about the phone calls. People do get taken in by these scammers and you need to be especially vigilant if you have an online bank account. My neighbour got duped by something like this and lost his life savings.
ReplyDeleteAutumn is beautiful.I love the changing of the seasons and this time of year is my favourite.They are lovely photos.I get lots of leaves in my front garden but I dont mind because I love the sound of them crunching underfoot.Every so often I sweep them up and they all go into the compost.The phone calls you mentioned we get most days or even late evening.They get on my nerves but when Ive got the time,lol,I play along with them and they end up putting the phone down on me,lol.They make me mad cause they keep ringing my 85 year old Mam,with no thought of what time of the day it is.Once I told them to stop ringing cause I was waiting for a call from the doctor about some results...I wasnt,lol...n the cheeky sod said that he was the doctor and my results are very bad!! Most of them are vile people!.I cant believe that you still read in the papers about people giving their bank details to some scammers.I dont know how they are allowed to keep getting away with it.xx
ReplyDeleteSome people are realy evil, how they sleep at night???? Take care of youre beloved mother
DeleteSpectacular. Bursting buds in Spring and leaf colour in Autumn, you can't beat it.

This year the colours have come later but they are now absolutely beautiful and yes your right they will soon all fall.The photos are fab
ReplyDeleteAutumn is my favorite season. Thank you for sharing the pictures. I live in the U.S. in a cold state. We lost our leaves about a month ago and last night we got snow (which I also love). Two weeks ago we had snow for four days in a row (nothing stuck to the ground). Isn't it strange how leaves are their most brilliant when they're dying? Have a wonderful rest of your week!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful northern hemisphere autumn colours: we just don't get them here to the same extent. Absolutely lovely. You know Ilona the scammers must be doing OK because those calls just keep coming. We've had repeated calls over the last month, sometimes two calls per day. Just before I read a story from a lady who got scammed. She was warning readers about giving access to computers and/or giving out bank account numbers or any other personal information for that matter. She wasn't able to recover her money. Very sad. I think it is good to spread the word because people get caught out when the call comes at a time when they least expect it. The woman who got scammed big time said her call came through very late at night when she was half awake. My husband asks for information that identifies the caller. Me, I am thinking getting a whistle to blow down the mouth piece.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful....thanks Ilona x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful trees! They have those stripy benches/tables in my granddaughters playground. I shall be sitting on one this afternoon waiting for her !
ReplyDeleteI don't really have anything to add to all the previous comments about your beautiful pictures--they are stunning--but I wanted to say "thank you" for taking the time to post them. They added to my enjoyment this morning!!
ReplyDeleteHi

Normanby Park, near Scunthorpe
DeleteThanks MQ 8-)
DeleteThanks for the glimpse of a glorious English autumn.
ReplyDeleteHi , we get these phone calls frequently too, and for sky tv which we don't have. You can never find their number to report them, I don't know how you stop these scams apart from putting your phone down and ignoring them. We had one caller asking us to turn on our computer so they could get in it and check it, not likely! We put down the phone and leave the computer switched off for a while, but I would like them to be stopped and get their comeuppance. I saw the add and liked it, they ought to publish the story book 'Orangutan in my bedroom'. It's a good move. Sunpat don't use palm oil, only peanut oil. My family gift me handmade soap with all natural ingredients, no palm oil and I check cosmetics when I buy them. Lovely photos. They would look good on exhibition to show the positive side of living in scunthorpe area.
