2016 revisited: September

Summer started to quietly settle towards autumn and we went back to work . . .
I made this recording for Allysse's Nature Sound of the Month series.
We started the month with the end of the holidays and another go at Champing with friends. The days grew shorter and the mornings darker, which gave us the chance to see some gorgeous sunrises.
Amazing orange and purple sky
An amazing sky! This is the road where I take my Lake Field photos - Lake Field is on the left.
Marley Lane morning
The day when the lights were still on when we went to school was a marker of the shortening days.
Picture
We still made it out for some walks, though, including our monthly outings with the HRRA walking group and our weekly strolls around Arlington Reservoir on the way home from work.
mist in valleys
This is a view from the road on our way to work. Nice commute!
group of walkers on field
Off on a walk with HRRA. They're good people.
Geese and water
One week, the geese had moved onto Arlington Reservoir. A couple of weeks later, they'd gone again.
We also walked the whole of our local long distance path, the 1066 Country Walk. Handily, it goes right past our front door (literally, as our front door is directly onto the street) and Battle is slap-bang in the middle. A good place to rest overnight! Allysse came down to join us and she wrote up a blog about it. A few of our HRRA friends came along for the second day, too. It was a fun weekend.
cattle butting heads
These two are not very level headed. It's a pun, see, because this photo was taken on the Levels and they're butting heads. Woot.
Windmill
Windmill. Reminds me of Australia!
Church and haws
Haws and All Saints Church at Herstmonceux.
hayshed
Hayshed. I like the patterns of corrugated iron and the different bale styles.
people, hill and bright blue sky
Up the hill. I went the right way, not up this hill!
woodland and people
Through the woods. Pretty.
View of valley with farms and trees
View from Winchelsea. Slightly Mediterranean, right? No? Even if you squint a bit?!

Previous year in review posts: January, February, March, April, May, June, July and August.

Such beautiful scenery where you live. I do love the dramatic sunsets that Autumn brings, and how cute are those geese! Are they Canada Geese?

Hi Elizabeth, yes, they are Canada Geese - although in some of my photos I've found a couple of stray Greylag Geese, too, with their pink legs! (By the way, I've just re-published the post - I forgot to publish it with the last set of photos from the 1066 Country Walk - whoops!)

Thanks for sharing some of my blog posts :)
I was very glad to be around to share the 1066 walk with you. It was a fantastic walk.

It was great to have you down! We should definitely sort out another walk in 2017. (And thanks for blogging / running the nature sound challenge!)
