Autumn colour in the garden

The park in our garden is bursting with atumn colour, With a wide variety of oak trees as well as cherry trees, and pine trees, olive trees and others I cant remember the name of. It is quite daunting conveying all the different nuances of ochres. but the process is what is important and the joy that comes from doing it. As always.
