Don't know if you noticed this, Bill, but I'm much more aware of the incremental changes of the seasons now I'm not at work all day. I was thrown back to being a kid on the lane in that last picture when I saw a horse chestnut ready to drop.

At work I'd notice the gorgeous colours of autumn in the morning/evening drive but my brain was so full of other things that it was just an passing impression. Having time just seems to make me more aware of it all.

Well, the seasons don't get much of a chance to penetrate into this part of the world ...

Seriously though, I commuted 22 miles to work each day, most of it by train and some of it through countryside, so I was always aware of the seasons.

Ah yes, Manchester rain! Kept the cotton moist so it wouldn't snap! 

My commute was 19 miles, half through open countryside so I was hardly unaware of the seasons. But walking gives a different perspective. Although I always did a lot of walking in the summer holidays and a bit at Easter I generally missed the autumn. Feel like I've got it back.

At first I thought this was some ornate 18thC door.

Different landscape - Spurn Head in East Yorkshire, a 3 mile sand spit where all the bits of Yorkshire that fall into the sea get washed up:

I think they call them 'bits' round here/ You have to be careful how you phrase your order.

Up in't Pennines again:

Haven't checked this but I'd imagine the mills here would have started in the late 18thC when water power required fast flowing streams - I think I saw 1906 on one mill in Marsden but would imagine industrialisation wouldn't have been far behind Arkwright's mills further south.

My attempt at a Monet! 

When I set out on Friday the skies were blue and the trees were an absolute riot of autumn colour. Unfortunately a thin layer of high cloud descended at Huddersfield and stayed there over two days. Pity as the trees need the sun to bring out their colours.

Monet didn't work in little squares. More on the way to a Cézanne, I'd say!;)

I thought you'd know the right painter! Though I can't imagine either in Yorkshire! 

[This board seems fond of random little squares (or rectangles !!!!]
