Autumn Colours at Chatsworth

Last weekend saw us off to Chatsworth again.
I know, we seem to be there every other weekend

- well, I need to get the most out of my annual pass! 

Unfortunately we didn't pick the best day of the weekend for blue sky and sunshine, but it was still warm and the autumnal leaves stood out well against the slightly overcast sky

and the house seemed to float on the canal pond

The stars of the garden at this time of year are definitely the acers; as summer's flowers die back their brilliant colours shine.
