Still colourful

I snatched a half hour of sunshine and brightness to wander down the road as far as the Highland Cows.  They are definitely knee deep in squelchy mud.  (there's one with a face like Grumpy Cat and will be blipped at some point.)  The squirrels in the churchyard are frisking and finding treasures among the leaves.

And those leaves - sparkling in the rich light. I'm not sure I've ever seen such depth of colour. We've been told there are special climatic reasons for this beauty.
