Autumn Colours

A change from last week's late summer weather - definitely looking autumnal now.    These leaves are on a  sugar(?)maple we have growing in a pot - with half a plan of putting it into the rail cutting if we ever get to buy the land.

Experimenting with the new lens blur widget in Lightroom - one of those things best not taken to extremes?

Thanks to everyone who commented on my blip from Stow on the Wold yesterday.  Fitzbilly and I were thinking about blipmeets and getting one organised - probably before Christmas preparations begin? 
Batsford Arboretum?  
Avoid half term week (30th Oct - 3rd Nov)? 
Previous blip meets there have been ok.  
Ideas welcome!
