Autumn Trees

Autumn foliage in the evening sun in Lundin Links.

The needles on the larch tree in the Serpentine Walk turn yellow before falling. The larch is the only European deciduous conifer.

The leaves have fallen off this hawthorn by the side of the path oalong the old railway line in Lower Largo but a profusion of berries remains.

The lichen on this dead tree alongside the path provides a welcome splash of colour.

Ivy flowers along the path. Ivy covers some of the fences along the old railway track. Its yellow-green flowers bloom late and are a good source of nectar for wildlife whilst its dense foliage provides shelter.

The galls on this oak tree in the Massney Braes are more noticable once the laeaves have fallen.
