Autumn colours in Sussex Farmland

The autumn sun returned today, providing a welcome richness of colour. Click any of the images to get a large version.

There were the deer up on the crest of the hill.

And a robin sang in the cool morning air.

The magpies were skimming across the fields.

And the farm animals were quietly grazing.

Above it all, a hot air balloon drifted gently across the sky.

Finally a short video clip of Stumpy the fox. I've not seen him for a while but he paid a short visit last night. Good to see that he's still around.

    I love the photo of the horses with the hill as the backdrop :up:

    Glad the sun has returned. It's gone from here, but we've got a windchill of -13c and a forecast of snow!

    Mark, the ballon made a change from the usual aerial oddities I get to see. This is by far the weirdest.

    I bet you can't wait for your birthday. Which is to be?
