Autumn is knocking

I do hope that these yellowing leaves are truly a sign of autumn and not some horrific disease striking my pear trees.
Since this picture this morning, I got home to find most of the leaves fallen, so I'm convinced that it's the season.

I love autumn. I don't know many who don't.
The days are still very mild here, with no coat required just yet, but at the back of my nose I can almost smell the dew and bonfire wood.

My favourite.
