Autumn in Colby Woodland Gardens

It was very busy in these lovely gardens today. One, it was half-term and there was a Hallow'een Trail going on for children. Two, the leaves were changing colour and there were photographers everywhere (me included of course) and Three the gardens will be closing for the winter at the end of the week. So everyone was fitting in their last seasonal visit.

Road down to the ford.

Shapely gate latch.

Cwms Lane. The lane from Colby to Amroth.

The stream was running very fast and there were several small waterfalls after a couple of nights of heavy rain.

I would love to have him in our garden. He would frighten away anything!

Wouldn't mind this urn either, but the pedestal was rather large.

I think this withy shelter must have been made much earlier in the year. It was quite well weathered and was probably made by one of the many school groups that go to the gardens.

Mushroom magic! I didn't really realise just how many groups of fungi there were until I got the photo on to the computer. It was in an awkward place and I was concentrating on keeping the camera still and not falling over while taking it. A lovely end to our garden trip
