I was having a walk in Beddgelert today and drove past the Swallow Falls Hotel and it was in the next Forestry car park and I just had to stop and take a photo.

Stunning. The acers are a magnificent colour at the moment. I took this one this morning.

That one must be more sheltered than mine ! The last few leaves are clinging on, but mainly they are all gone.

My Japanese Acer has gone completely!  It got too big so had to suffer the indignity of the chain saw.   Got a nice Rowan in its place that I will try to keep in check.   ZXZ

Lots of Folklore about the Sorbus so I'll take a special interest. ;D

The acers are so colourful at the moment I have been trying to take some close ups of the leaves, not a great success but they do make such beautiful patterns. The yellow leaves in the last photo are the sorbus. It has white berries.

Beautiful Autumn photos Linda and Hollins.     $good$


I bought a Japanese Maple "Osakasuki"  a few years ago and although it is nice I'm disappointed that the Autumn colours are not as vibrant as I expected.   I've looked at the leaves on the variety Osakasuki on Google and they look different to mine but I can't check because my leaves on the tree have all gone, not one left in the garden.
Must wait until the Spring to see if I've been duped!

Regarding the camera I am indebted to DaveR who recommended a little wonder camera! It is called a Sony RX100.
A minute's silence please.... I was in Chester the other day taking some photos at Dusk from the Walls and the wonder camera slipped out of my hand and fell 20 feet onto the concrete below. Needless to say, it is now deceased.  :( It's a testament to Sony build quality that it still turned on (albeit to display an error message) when I retrieved it!

Please avert your eyes, Hollins, it's not a pretty sight...
