Summer on the Southwell Trail - Part 9

As the trail moves from late August into September there are a few hints of autumn in the trees and  landscape. The summer greens are losing their vibrancy as the leaves, perhaps prematurely, turn towards yellow. There are also plenty of berries on the hawthorn trees:










In addition to the red haws (hawthorn berries) are plenty of rose hips on the dog rose bushes. I also revisited the wild pear tree on the trail where the fruit has now started to mature:



Now the harvest has been completed the fields next to the trail are looking very autumnal: 




 
Some of the leaves on the horse chestnut trees have already fallen with the rest looking very dry:





Lastly, my favourite ash trees are showing signs of changing colour or may be that is wishful thinking - autumn is my favourite season for photography and as you may guess... I can't wait!
