This last week saw a real change in the weather. No more walks through crunchy leafy trails and instead it was traipsing through soggy and slippery leaves and splashing through puddles once again! We also spent time playing dodge the hail storm as our week that was saw sudden downpours of rain one moment and then hail stones the next. And it has been very cold at times.
However, despite the cold, wet and hail we have still managed to get outside and get some fresh – if indeed bitterly cold at times – air and enjoy this wonderful colourful season.
Autumn is just full of a real mix of colours. How many can you spot each time you go for a walk?
Rustic browns, oranges, reds and yellow from the shedding leaves. The grass is still green, the skies have ranged from grey to blue to white and to black.
We even saw the golden rays of sunshine peeping through the trees to bring some warmth to us on our adventures.
When the sun shines everything has warming hues and tones and outside play brings smiles too.
The playground adds some rainbow colours to brighten up what would have been a dreary visit there as it was a dark afternoon when we popped along to the park last Thursday. The ground was wet and reflecting all the colours and objects surrounding us.
The trunks and branches of the trees have looked much darker and bare this week – a reminder of the drab and dreary winter months ahead of us.
Then suddenly everything was sprinkled with white icey hail stones as we had to endure an impromptu hail storm. Burton discovered that these tiny frozen droplets of water hurt! Especially when you lie down as they fall from the sky!!
Or you can just take the changeable weather in your stride !

Lovely photos Jenny. Looks blooming cold though! More o that to come !x
Jenny those are lovely photos in the sunshine, looks like you dodged the showers for a lovely trip to the park, great splash of colour. We have been in and out between hail storms too! Thanks for linking up.
great photos and I love the hat.
there is something sort of great about an empty playground and something kind of strange. I do love how much you seem to get out and about.
Gorgeous colours! Looks like you had lots of fun finding them. Jenson looks so grown up! I love his fox hat too x
Love how serious the boys are about it all.
Lovely photos, it looks like a really good park but it looks so so cold, not sure I could handle it! I always hated going out in bad weather even to the car so I’m not sure I could have played with Leo in it!
Gorgeous photos and it looks very wet and cold- we were going to go out for a walk today but it literally rained all day long. Rubbish. x
Oh Jenny, those photographs of Jenson are gorgeous, absolutely precious, especially the side profile. (You should use this for The Gallery this week!)
Popping over from Country Kids
Fantastic photos Jenny. It doesn’t look like you let he change in the weather spoil your fun. And I love Jenson’s hat! X
What a gorgeous collection of photos! There’s something really striking about the last one in the deserted playground. Did he not want to leave??
Loved your leaf owl by the way! x
Awesome hat! I’m going to have to take some puddle photo this weekend.
