After the Storm

Overnight, the riverside changes with leaves shaken from the trees together with small branches and twigs, now littering the ground creating a brilliantly coloured carpet.
The area was spared the worst of the gales, with no trees toppled and no torrential rainfall, although the river was still rising this morning and flowing very fast, it only overflowed it's banks in places before stabilising this afternoon.
Birds were still hunkered down, sheltering from the gusty blasts, remnants of last night's storm clinging on.

This ash tree still has most of it's leaves but those that fell
last night form a fine carpet


The river takes on a new aspect after heavy rainfall
