Dunkield Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I don't what the weather is like where you are, but my normally mundane drive to work was quite spectacular this morning. The route takes me close to the Thames which had a layer of mist above it with the low morning sun beaming though, then through some wooded lanes with the leaves turning and agian the sun beaming through the gaps. Scenes like that must be a photographers dream. It make the journey, and more importantly what is at the end of it, slightly more bareable. But still makes me wish I was out there enjoying it, rather than looking at it the through the window. Oh well, a walk round tomorrow with the .22, and fishing on Sunday morning will help if the weather holds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I like the Autumn for the colours and "quiet", but I prefer the Spring, as it has an energy about it and signals the start of the year for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Janaway Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 It has to be winter for me. I just love the mist and the frost and snow and the smell of the air and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Spring is the most positive time as the whole place seems to wake up and we can look forward to lighter evenings. The worst part about this time of year will be driving to/from work in the dark, and I realy miss the long evening dog walks as well. We just have to get out on a real long one at the weekends to make up for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I enjoy all the seasons on their own merits, but I do enjoy the crisp mornings and colourful scenery of Autumn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandersj89 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 It is a close call between autumn and spring. But spring wins it, the first time you feel the real warmth of the sun on your back when outside is a fantatstic feeling! I also love the freshness of the colours then.

JohnGalway Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Early spring and late autumn for me, the bugs are gone and the weather is usually great. Some colourful sunsets around here lately, winters seem to have changed a lot since I was young(er), not as much rain, a lot milder and very few decent storms. Summer would be my least favourite, although the hotter days certainly help with the bird watching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_seagrave Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Ahh, the walk across Blackfriars Bridge this morning - one's breath in the air and the October sunlight glinting on the toecaps. Even miles away from the countryside this time of year is magical. Until one gets to work of course. Regards, LS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owenwill Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Love autumn myself, especially when the weathers as good as it is now, just finished the maize harvest and sowing winter wheat, the weather isn't usually so kind in mid october to let us do this with no rain breaks, the bottom 2 pics are view from tractor chisel ploughing maize stubble this afternoon, the plough had barely hit the ground and there were hundreds of gulls dive bombing the tractor, few crows too, excuse phone cam quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie1606 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 It has got to be Autumn for me also. You can't beat the colours of the leaves and the fresh clean air that comes with these cold nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 This is the best time right now. Ground frost for two days, first day of the season picking up on Sunday, ferreting on Sunday and the nettles will have wilted under the frosts. What could be better other than a reverse of the hunting with dogs ban LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Owen, top quality pictures Favourite time of year is between winter and spring when the days draw out and the cold mornings get pushed aside by warmer ones. That said the dark morning walks at 5 am with the dog and me breathing steam slightly on the way out and blowing it on the way back are good. Plus in winter foxes go missing on the local golf course to good dogs :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Sweepy Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 i just love this time of year .first thing in the morning after a hard frost .especially if you are out beating .the hardest of the ground under your feet.the coldness of your nose cheeks and hands that feel like they are on fire the minute you step into a warm room . the low sun that blinds you but also makes every droplet look like a crystal and every cobweb look like silver thread .the sound of the leaves and twigs under your feet.and the stillness that always follow the cold snap of jack frost xxxxx suzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Owen, those are good pictures - you should try sticking them on Farmingforums.co.uk or the section on Farmers Weekly.. We've still got a few dry days down here to finish up the drilling and the maize. As I'm typing the neighbouring farmer is storming around in a 500hp Quadtrac, frantically getting the last of his wheat sown. I too love the Autumn, particularly the crisp mornings and the silence. I had a potter round with the .22 early today to mop up a few rabbits, rats, squirrels and suchlike, and it really is the most stunning time of the year. I wish I'd had the .223 with me though, as I practically trod on several muntjac in the meadows (little ******** are vandalising the cricket-bat willows).

Ferret Master Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 LOVE IT! Had our first day ferreting today. Early start and got 10 fat bunnies. Cracking day with good company in beautiful weather. Pics to follow in Sporting Pictures tomorrow. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
