This selection of photographs follows on from my previous post which shows the progression of the autumn season during October for specific trees, or groups of trees, on or around Combs Lane in Farnsfield. They also reflect the increased focus on local photography as the Covid virus continues to restrict our normal day-to-day lives.
The sequence starts at the beginning of October with a row of lime and oak trees which feature regularly in this blog. They sit in a field which connects Farnsfield village with Combs Lane via a footpath and the lime trees in particular have a wonderful shape:
When I returned two weeks later these lime trees had really thinned out, losing many of their leaves. By the last week in October the trees were totally leafless and ready for winter. I wasn’t really surprised by the speed of the leaf drop as this is something that I have observed in previous years and I often use these trees as a guide for visiting the Clumber Park Limetree Avenue - see my recent post:
Also very seasonal during October was the weather! The overcast and rainy days outnumbering the bright sunny ones (more on how this impacted on the autumn photography in future posts). That said, rain can be advantage when it turns to rainbows which happened a couple of times during the month in the Combs Lane location - and more specifically over the line of trees shown above (albeit viewed from a different direction):
Finally for this post, a small set of other images from the immediate vicinity of the lime trees shown above, including oak and beech trees:
