Looking back to an autumn walk along the banks of the River Cerne near Charlton Down in Dorset, England. The bankside vegetation was just beginning to die back but was still lush. Drifts of yellowing willow leaves falling from a tree bent low over the shallow chalk stream made a dash of colour against the moss encrusted bark and grass. The grey October sky was reflected on the water ripples and made interesting patterns around a trailing stem and leaf.
It looks a beautiful place- I’d love to walk there 😄
Idyllic images Jessica – makes me want to be walking alongside that stream.
Yes, it is a lovely place to walk and notice the changes throughout the year.
It is always interesting, always changing. This time last year the water was at full flood and overflowed the banks. The fields were flooded for weeks.
Lovely! There are really nice wild brown trout in there. Sooner or later RHA (when at home in Dorset 4 miles N of Cerne) & JNB are going to have a blog-meet!
When the weather is better, perhaps I should wander further upstream. Maybe I would bump into you fishing.
A very beauitful walk, thanks for sharing.
