A lovely afternoon shopping in York. It wasn't too busy. There are lots of lovely shops there. We enjoyed tea in a very comfortable restaurant just off St Helen's Square. We came out to a wonderful singer singing songs from Les Miserables then walked through the Christmas Market. The lights were at their best as the evening was dark & clear. 

 Tuesday 28th November

Knaresborough was very quiet apart from small groups of photographers taking advantage of the beautiful clear light which was tinged with salmon pink as the sun started to set.

 Saturday 2nd December

On Thursday there were beautiful frost patterns over the conservatory roof. Today there were carpets of leaves under the trees as I walked along the railway line. Winter has arrived.

 Thursday 23rd November

There is still plenty of green on the trees lining the railway track towards Spofforth.

Sunday 26th November

The path past the golf course was lined with the straightest line of mushrooms that we have ever seen. When we looked around more closely it was part of a huge circle. The sound of the water in the stream makes this section really special.

Tuesday 28th November

Knaresborough was very quiet today though I did wait for people to move out of shot for two of these photos. The light was wonderful, clear tinged with salmon pink as the sun set. There were groups of people with very big cameras taking photos in unusual places around the town.

The magnificent old trees in Roundhay Park are still full of rich colours.

 Saturday 11th November.

Clear blue skies are best appreciated on a walk in the open with far reaching views so Sutton Bank was the ideal destination. The drive up the 168 was lovely with trees in full autumn colours on all sides. The walk was lovely and watching gliders land and be towed into flight was an added bonus. 

 Thursday 9th November.

Perfect timing for our walk around Harlow Carr to enjoy the autumn colours.
