Autumn colours ...

Yesterday was a sunny day & showed autumn in its first early stages. I've been meaning to do a seasonal colouring exercise for some time & used an opportunity to get some pix for reference.

 ... especially for the colours of the variagated & red leaves ...

... for acorns (especially the cups) & sycamores (the twirling process) for their shape
& manner in which they form

... as well as lots of seed pods because of the unusual shapes when 'popped' open

+ the shinyness of a conker
