Colourful Kew...


At last, Kew was showing off its autumn colour!  It looked hugely different from when Kristina and I visited last month.




We couldn't resist tramping through the leaves!





Japanese anemones always signify autumn to me too.  I particularly love the pink ones.




We obviously wandered off piste this time as we discovered things we had not seen before.  Most memorable, these wonderful willow sculptures by Tom Hare.

Aren't they stunning?

  8. Kew looks so beautiful in autumn colours and those sculptures are fab! I'm glad you kicked through the leaves - everyone should do a little skipping through autumn leaves each year as an antidote to all the pressures of being a grown-up!
