Some more photos from the weekend walks.

Photo looking towards a low sun though trees. It has caused a lense flare to the left of the picture between the trees Photo of the underside of a bridge. There are lots of ferns growing downwards from the beams Photo looking down a long straight path. On the right is a wooden fence and a field beyond. On the left hedges and trees in autumn colours Photo of a river. The water is very still reflecting the trees on the far bank. There ate a lot of green floating plants in the surface

Lovely sky tonight. This photo only spoilt by the inclusion of a “Bargain Booze” off license 🤔

Photo of the sky above a row of shops. The sun is setting causing the clouds to be swirling orange. There is a lit up shop frontage in the centre of the row.

Played crazy golf with my nephew today. The course was epic, and thankfully indoors.
Photo of a crazy golf hole. There is a run into the bottom of a windmill and numerous tubes and rails for the ball around it Phot looking up a crazy golf hole. It’s is a green strip between artificial rock faces. It has several undulating humps down it

There are still some flowers hanging in there, but cut back a lot.
