Autumn scenes and colours from our planting site at the foot of Ciomad Mountain, where the oak seedlings will develop their roots and crowns over the coming decades.

By now, in early October, nature has grown quiet and its colours have faded.
All that remains of the summer chorus of birds and insects is the increasingly desperate chirping of a few crickets, still hoping to find a mate and pass on their genes before the really cold weather brings their generation’s time on Earth to an end.
The chlorophyll that gives plants their green colour is slowly breaking down in the leaves, following the dry weather of recent days and weeks and the clear, already frosty mornings. Autumn colours have arrived a little earlier than in other years, but thankfully after a good summer. Summer greens are giving way to pastels, punctuated by a few vivid splashes of colour—berries and late flowers -that do a rather good job of making up for the loss of summer’s colours.
Some of the oaks planted two years ago have started to show some real growth, which is encouraging to see.
