The days may be getting shorter and the weather cooler but with them come a riot of oranges yellows and fiery reds as the leaves change colour, My film focuses on the dance of the leaves as they are blown in the wind set against an increasingly stormy sky. images follow.

At Gigrin Farm, Red Kite Feeding & Rehabilitation Centre in Wales Feeding takes place at 2pm (last weekend in October onwards) 3pm ( from the last weekend in March). The Crows are usually first on the scene followed by Buzzards and Red Kites competing for the best cuts of meat. The birds demonstrate spectacular feats of aerial manoeuvrability as they swoop low to capture the food in their claws, The birds then proceed to eat their newly acquired meal in-flight before diving down again for another helping.

Red Travel Case Originally uploaded by lsphotos A Quick snap taken with my phone of a red vintage travel case at my Grans house a 70`s/ 80`s Horizon Ski tag is attached to the handle and its full of stage costumes. What stories are contained in its fabric?, What's the significance of the ribbon tied the handle?. how many people have called it theirs what does the future hold for it. An enigma for sure.

The sky looked spectacular tonight each cloud tinted deep red by the setting sun I had to take a photo.
