Trees
Having found very few trees around Shetland last month, it's been good to catch up on my arboreal photos this month - and it feels like the autumn colours were pretty good this year.

Birds
It also been good to spend a little bit of time birding around Oxfordshire too - aside from watching the usual suspects around the garden - was particularly pleased to spend time with the snipe at Otmoor and with the kingfishers along the banks of the Thames.

Sunrise, Sunset & Snow Fall
And just in case you might have gotten the idea that sunrises are only found on Shetland - or that snow only falls in winter.
