Adel Woods

Adel Woods autumn golds

As summer draws to a close, the trees prepare for winter and the greens give way to the copper and gold of autumn.

Fading Beech leaves.

At the start of autumn, the rich greens of the summer are fading.

Fallen leaves in Adel Beck add a touch of colour to the stream.

In the depths of the stream, the green of summer lasts well into the autumn.

The evergreen holly bushes contrast with the copper of fallen beech leaves.

A wonderful spot to swing from the trees.

Even as the copper leaves carpet the woodland floor, the last of the summer's green leaves still remain in the canopy.

Low sunlight filters through the trees after the leaves have fallen.

A spider's web looks like a multicoloured jewel against the gold of an autumn leaf.
