I fell over!

Unfortunately for you guys reading, there are no funny photos of me falling over. However there is a story to go with it, which my girlfriend is still laughing about and it's been about two weeks since I did it!
 We went to Lyme Park a couple of weeks back to have another look around as we really liked it the first time we went (see my blog about it here). This time however we were less prepared and in fact the place was shut, so we could only wander round the land that it was in. Luckily, this little prison house was only a short walk away so we trekked on over to go have a look. 
On the way back it was a steep downwards bank to get back to the car, and as you can tell from the photos, the weather wasn't pretty and it had been raining for quite a while. Not having the right footwear at all, we waddled our way back down the hill until it got to an extremely steep bit. Being the gentleman that I am, I went first (after Hana made me) and thought the best course of action was to run down it to get it over and done with. It turns out this was not a good idea and I went completely horizontal before sliding to the bottom of the hill, camera still in hand! Luckily for me nothing was broken, all I had was a sore wrist and a bruised ego. Hana decided that she wasn't going to go down this way, which had been her suggestion in the first place, and took the much safer longer route round, whilst I waited soaked in mud. Nevermind!

Here are some of the photos from the day!

Leaf me alone!

Again I apologise for a horrendous post title, I think these up late at night and then they really make me laugh even though they are horrendous, but I have to include them!

Anyway, autumn is here, and for quite a while now I have seen many posts featuring autumnul leaves and amazing colours. Especially those across the pond, you seem to have such great autumns (or falls in your case!) and the colours are just incredible! Generally here in the UK we get a lot of brown and a lot of rain which ends up with a lovely brown mush on the floor! Wooo....not!

So I saw this tree out of my bedroom window one day and I had to go and shoot it! It was bright yellow and the sky was a brilliant clear blue with the sunlight shining through the leaves so I knew I wouldnt get a better opportunity than that to capture it!

And this is what I got! I'm hoping sometime soon I can go on an autumn walk in the woods to capture some more leafy treats but for now, this will have to do!
