Autumn colours in Sussex Farmland

, , , ,

The autumn sun returned today, providing a welcome richness of colour. Click any of the images to get a large version.

There were the deer up on the crest of the hill.

And a robin sang in the cool morning air.

The magpies were skimming across the fields.

And the farm animals were quietly grazing.

Above it all, a hot air balloon drifted gently across the sky.

Finally a short video clip of Stumpy the fox. I've not seen him for a while but he paid a short visit last night. Good to see that he's still around.

I love the photo of the horses with the hill as the backdrop :up:

Glad the sun has returned. It's gone from here, but we've got a windchill of -13c and a forecast of snow!

Darko, we seem to be getting our share of the sun at the moment. Hope your office spider finds its way home again bug

Mark, the ballon made a change from the usual aerial oddities I get to see. This is by far the weirdest.

I bet you can't wait for your birthday. Which is to be?
