Pictures showing the range of colours the leaves of Japanese acers can take in the autumn.
All of the trees shown here are beside paths connecting the south and west gates of West Park, passing via the front of the tearooms – a walk of a couple of hundred yards.
All the pictures were taken yesterday or the day before. Hurry to catch views like these before the wind brings all the leaves down.
Can you spot the squirrel which was watching me from under one of the trees?
