So it did after all turn out to be the warmest recorded Halloween day here in the UK, I decided to take my camera with me to work in Cambridge and took images before I started work, during my Lunch break and when I got home.

Where the leaves on the trees had turned there were some stunning colours and it was hard to know where to start but sometimes just the simple shot works to show the variation in the colours.

Walking during my lunch break I saw there were many Squirrels running around storing the nuts they had gathered into thier secret hiding places always looking to see who or what may be watching where the stored food for the winter months is located. Usually the squirrel will be watching the Jays stashing food only to steal it for themselves.

On the train on the way home I noticed lots of Lapwings gathering on the fields amongst them here and there were Golden Plover, the next field revealed about 200 Golden Plover by themselves, the train was going too fast to take a picture and I hoped the train going past may have put the plover up so I could see the changing white to golden brown as they turned into the sunlight, but it was not to be.

When I arrived home the trick or treaters were walking around the neighbourhood, this has got really popular here in the UK over the last few years, when I was a lad we did try to make lanterns using swedes we found in the farmers fields, but I just had to take a picture of Pumpkins my neighbours children had made next door.

Happy Halloween to you all.
