Autumn pattern

I love the patterns of Autumn, the way the woody skeleton of a tree is revealed as the leaves fall. I gave the back lawn its first full mow in months today as we had been leaving sections of it long to encourage the wild life and, as it happened, provide a hiding place for the cat to ambush us from. This tree is at the edge of the lawn and is quite spectacular when it is in full leaf. Now it looks quite sombre as it anticipates the coming winter.
