Definitely autumnal Nick. Something must have a stomach ache after taking that big bite!

Hi Guys,

Yes I wondered what was brave enough to chomp thru that, there were no corpses to be found anywhere

The only Mushrooms I pick and eat come from ASDA

You're right Nick. Autumn has arrived. Cold nights and maybe ?frosty mornings. Don't think this year is one of the best for autumn colours. Thanks for your pics and hope everybody will post theirs.

Great pics Nick. Any more. I just love the autumn colours but this year has not been the best. Was looking round the garden but think my pics would be the same as last year only without the sunshine. Will have another look round for worthwhile shots. Anybody else got any nice ones from near you ?

Hi Alice,

They were taken on the mobile fone yesterday whilst I was taking the Natch out for a walk. I'll try and get out with a proper camera this week if the weather is good. the only other one I've got is the silver birch at the bottome of the garden ....

Autumn is lovely here, sadly no pix, keep leaving the camera at home.
I picked my first wallflower this weekend. Is that a record?

Hi Sue,

I must confess the Goldfinch wasn't taken using the mobi, that was a Canon 350d +55-200mm zoom But the rest are.

It's not a bad little camera althought the one on my old mobile was better as that had Macro & zoom on it, this doesn't for some reason although it does have an MP3 player, so you can't have everything
