These are a selection of photographs taken whilst walking the Southwell Trail during August. They feature the seasonal details that caught my eye as summer came to an end.
Some of the ferns along the trail had started to change colour as early as the first week in August and the golden yellows stood out nicely against the dark undergrowth:
There was also an autumnal look to some of the field maple and silver birch leaves as the leaf litter started to accumulate:
A number of storms during the month causing damage to some of the trees including this damson tree that had fallen across the path:
There was plenty of other fruit on display in addition to the fallen damson including, blackthorn sloes, acorns, and a mass of haws on the hawthorns:
Finally, I continued to keep my eye on the ash trees that tend to be one of the first trees along the trail to lose their leaves in autumn. I noticed that they had already started to thin in places:
