Ridge and furrow showing clearly on a sunlit autumn morning in Welcombe Hills Country Park outside Stratford on Avon.
A product of medieval ploughing, frequently visible across the midlands on land which has neither been developed, nor been used for arable farming since.
The vivid autumn leaves of one of the Japanese acers in West park, seen on a bright, windy day. From a distance, the tree seemed to have keps all its leaves. Closer, it could be seen that all had been brought down except the ones at the ends of the branches.

Some of West Park’s Canada geese marching in a line. They had all been feeding on grass, when they suddenly decided to start heading for they lake, possibly because they thought someone was arriving with bread.
Welcombe Hills Country Park, just a few minutes walk outside Stratford on Avon, a mixture of woodland and grassland leading to high ground with wide views over Arden and towards the Cotswolds. Most of the open areas are covered in ant hills, the work of millions of yellow meadow ants.
