Capturing Autumn at Winkworth

Winkworth in Surrey is a National Trust owned arboretum and a truly wonderful place to visit. Autumn is especially beautiful and usually warrants at least two visits – last year it might have even been three. We still need to catch a falling leaf from a tree but what a great selection littered the ground.

The colour is always quite something – hues of red, yellow and orange on many rare trees. You don’t even have to look very far to see really fabulous colours.

When we were last at Winkworth it was a beautiful Autumnal day and the lake by the boathouse looked especially stunning. Just a few weeks later the change was incredible. What an awesome view this fisherman had.

There were plenty of opportunities for POD to collect different coloured leaves,

and make magic! All while wearing her headband round her forehead – exactly where she likes it to be.

There was even time to make bracken umbrellas, play hide and seek

and a catch a lift when POD’s little legs got tired.

Wouldn’t it be great if Autumn could last that little bit longer?

    The colours of those leaves are gorgeous. What a beautiful place for a day out and POD looks like she is having a wonderful time 🙂

    It would indeed be perfect if Autumn could last just a little bit longer. I think here in the South west we are still clinging on with many trees still yet to fall, one big storm and that will be it though. I love all the colours in your photos and Pod waving the bracken for an umbrella.

    Oh yes, I would love autumn to last a bit longer! We’ve been heading firmly towards winter (although tomorrow is bizarrely supposed to be in the 60’s?!), and I’m really not ready for snow and ice yet! Gorgeous photos of POD as always, and the colours of the leaves are beautiful x

    Arboretums are a lovely place, peaceful and ideal to take pics. Your little one is such a cutie (and my second favorite color is purple:) )
