A Sunday Morning Autumn Walk

My daughter asked us to look after her dog Esther this morning. It was such a glorious morning we decided to take her for a walk. Can't believe how sunny and warm it was for October, hardly a cloud in the sky.

These are just some random photos I took along the riverside walk. My camera is still on the blink so I used the phone although its camera isn't brilliant. I must remember to remove the Nokia watermark from the phone and ask Santa Claus for a new camera!

My main worry would be what if the river floods! 

The houses on the opposite side are nice too but there's a road in front of them.

There's a lovely park and lake nearby but today we were just following the river as we've never walked this far along the riverside.

 

It felt like being in The Lord of the Rings scenery. The trees were amazing. They would have looked better if I had stood still to take the photos instead of trying to keep up with my husband and the dog.

These roots were totally weird but I would have loved to hide in their when I was little.

Apparently that viaduct was built in the 19th century for the main London to Newcastle railway. I wanted to take a close up photo as the blocks of stone were absolutely huge but the trees were blocking the view when you got near it. 

Maybe we can get a better photo next time from the opposite bank of the river. Don't think we'll get such good weather again until next year.
