Accompanied by my trusty John Steed umbrella, I left the house to meet a friend for lunch just as it had finished drizzling outside. The forecast was dull, dreich, and disheartening, so, true Scot that I am, I was armed and ready for any rainy eventuality.
But Mother Nature, being her normal capricious self, had other plans, and halfway through the meal she swept away some clouds and invited the sun to peek through, naughty matron that she is, and gave me itchy feet into the bargain.
I wasn't intending to go for a walk today, mainly because, meh, drizzle and grey skies are not really conducive to expending ambulatory energy, but on being presented with a bright blue sky and even brighter orange leaves (the first photo on the page) just as I left the café, I realised that my brain had already decided to go on an Autumn colour treasure hunt.
So away we went, Moeder Natuur and I, across the city, capturing seasonal riches where we found them, and we came back with quite the haul...
