Please don't let me miss Autumn this year

 

Beech avenue, Manor Kilbride

Last year I apparently missed it. So even though it was overcast (contrary to the weather forecast) I ventured out with the intent of making it to the Sally Gap and the two Bray Loughs (far left in map below). Alas I ran out of time and was cold anyway so took my photos and hurried home. To lamb chops and apple pie (not together) courtesy of my beloved daughter (one of them).  Here's a link to more photos.

More Autumn

A few more Autumn shots taken whilst running today...

First day of Autumn

Morning mist over the lake

A decided chill in the air this morning and the trees are beginning to turn, but a beautiful morning. I think I have to concede that Autumn is upon us. I could not resist running down to the lake to take these pictures. Click on a picture to enlarge it.
