Autumn colours in the Tranquil Garden

Gold coin purse with heart and a necklace and earings in gold tones.

The Tranquil Garden in autumn is if anything at its most beautiful as many of the plants and trees come into their richest colours.

Quite often it is still warm enough to sit out at lunchtime and enjoy the peace. Here are a few pictures taken today when the sun coming in low through the trees created at times some almost magical effects.
