A big spider in the garden

The misty weather has brought out the shapes of the spider webs which are adorning the garden foliage. This always indicates that autumn is swiftly approaching. It is a favourite season of mine, but sadly it portends winter which isn't my favourite. I like the contrasting colours and the way that in our garden when the leaves fall the fantastic wider views across the valley are revealed. 

But to be honest I would prefer spending some of the winter months in Sri Lanka again. Sadly the finances don't run to that at present so we will have to make do with home, as usual.
