Last week I took a photo walk around Trentham Gardens in Staffordshire. It was one of the last crisp, sunny November days before the trees lost their brilliant hue and the leaves turned to mush underfoot.

What an amazing autumn of warmth and colour; make me feel privileged to experience the fullness of the seasons. Here are a few of my favourite photos from around the woods and lake.
