Autumn Leaves

After yesterday's TGO Award judging (see last post) I found myself in Grantown-on-Spey with a little free time so I wandered through the town under a steel grey overcast sky looking at the last traces of frost on the trees. The colourful leaves were damp with melted frost and shone brightly, a great contrast to the dull light.

Many leaves had fallen and more were swirling down, brittle and fragile, making the ground a wonderful mosaic of shapes and colours.
