Autumn Photo Comp 2013

[Amelanchier]

Afternoon all,

 

Driving home in the glorious British autumn rain the other night I was thinking how little I miss working outdoors sometimes. After turning the heated seats up a notch I wondered if I had simply just forgotten the joys of this time of year. So I reckoned that it was about time we had a photo comp to remind me what I'm missing. I have a pristine copy of Shigo's Modern Arboriculture as the prize for the best image that conveys the ups and/or downs of tree work in this season.

 

So a maximum of three pictures per person and all entries to be posted on this thread (no external links). Deadline is the end of November, any questions just ask - stay warm and get snapping!

Winkworth Arboretum yesterday, the autumnal champ of colourful fungi the fly agaric, here on birch roots & the discarded chlorophyl production units of a pin oak.

Nice little vid of morning coffee to go with the pic Stephen, where is that? Looks tranquil at that time of day.

Like the way you can barely pick out the mountains from the clouds Stevie. Nice depth of field on both 'shrooms. Probably should add that Mods can't win so looking good for you at the moment Ben!

does it have to be trees or related to arb talk eg hedgelaying,landscaping etc.

the best image that conveys the ups and/or downs of tree work in this season.

 

 

 

 

I reckon hedgelaying could just about fit into that description
