Nothing does autumn like a beech

There's a quiet, tucked away patch of beech woodland on Esher Common and this was the scene there early last week. The turning of the beech leaves is something I look forward to every autumn. It'd take a lot to convince me that there's a more beautiful species of tree out there.

Nice photos, and nowhere does Spring like a Beech either, the loveliest of trees.

The colours and textures really are a feast aren't they. Beautiful shots, Bill

But what are those things stuck in amongst the branches? Can't possibly be leaves, they all blew off well over a month ago...or is that just up here? :)

Fully agree Mick! Thanks Lucy, yes, a real feast to the eyes.

Seth - I'm surprised you've got trees up there at all to have leaves shed from! Hope all's going smoothly for you in your little corner of the Hebrides mate.
