It’s been another hectic week and I’ve only had time to get out with the camera once. I took the opportunity to snap a few pictures while taking the kids for a walk in a nearby forest.
The weather was stunning and very few of the leaves were turning. Although I could see conkers on one or two of the chestnut trees, I could see no other evidence of autumn.
I took this picture while I was lumbering along behind Helen with Toddler Adams in my arms. She was refusing to walk having had enough of the stroll.
I like the way the Helen is framed among the trees and path and Helen’s dress adds a dash of colour right in the middle. The basic technical details were as follows; focal length 38mm, aperture f5, ISO set at 200 and exposure time 1/125 of a second. The image has been placed through a spotlight filter.
I’ve linked the image up to the #MySundayPhoto linky. It’s well worth visiting if you want to see imagery from others keen on photography.

What a beautiful photo. We’ve had a few warm days here too. I’m pretty sure the temperature didn’t make it to 23 degrees during the summer holidays, but it did this week.
I’m happy for autumn to stay away for a bit longer!
Wow, 23 degrees in the middle of autumn. Very impressive.
Gorgeous photo, it looks so calm and peaceful x
It was very calm and peaceful, apart from Toddler Adams.
I love this photo, such a calm image, who doesn’t love walking through the woods, Lil G is desperate to get out conkering! #MySundayPhoto
Sure you’ll get out conkering soon enough! Thanks for stopping by Keri-Ann.
That is such a beautiful shot, and the framing makes it look even better. You’re obviously a pro using a manual, I would not have a clue!

Far from it! I’m defo an amateur trying to be a pro. Thanks for commenting.
This photo looks like it could’ve been taken in summer, the surroundings still looks green and the sun is stunning. It’s a gorgeous photo and you’re right, nature frames Helen beautifully
Glad you like the framing. For me, it makes the shot.
Beautiful photo, I love the use of vignette and really focuses the photo
Thank you for linking up
Thanks Darren. For once I can say it was quite an easy image to take.
I am very happy to have Autumn halted in it’s tracks, summer can last as long as it likes. Lovely photo and yes very summery still.
I’m generally very supportive of long summers too! Just odd there are few signs of the inevitable season change.
Oh wow, what a magical photo – and it very much does look like summer is still in full swing!
Thanks, although the weather today suggests otherwise!
Beautiful photo! It looks very tranquil in the woods! #mysundayphoto
It was very tranquil, apart from the toddler playing up.
I like the framing as well–good job.
Glad you liked the framing. For me it’s what made the shot.
I love this shot. Looks like it could be the kind of photo that would be on a book cover. #MySundayPhoto
Very kind of you to say so! Thanks for commenting.
Beautiful photo, I love the way it’s framed and the light is quite magical x
What a lovely photo. I really like the colour of her dress against the darker background. This year is going too quickly and I can’t believe there are conkers already!
