AS WE firmly arrive in autumn we leave the basking hot weather of summer behind us and experience plummeting temperatures and darker days.

But there are many things to celebrate and enjoy in autumn, rather than just falling into a state of hibernation.

Autumn is famous for its dropping temperatures, harvest time, the changing colour of the leaves of trees and darkening nights, as well as the celebrated bonfire night and evenings of fireworks.

For those not snuggling up at home by the fire and enjoying a hot drink, autumn provides many amazing photo opportunities for both the amateur and professional.

We can be sure to enjoy, a range of wildlife, frost cover fields and cobwebs and piles of fallen leaves.
