Clear blue skies were evidence of the last remnants of summer at Stourhead Garden in Wiltshire and the golden brown leaves betrayed the seasonal change.
Further north, amateur photographer Roger Merrifield captured a string of stunning shots of the increasingly bare trees at beauty spots.
The 45-year-old businessman uses long exposure camera techniques and waits patiently to get the perfect shots while walking around the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and Scottish Highlands.

Among his successes was a shot of the trees reflected in the glistening water at Glencoe Lochan, a tract of forest in the Scottish Highlands. In another image, he captured a similar scene of the River Wharfe cutting through Strid Wood on the Bolton Abbey estate in the heart of North Yorkshire.
Mr Merrifield, originally from Burnley in Lancashire, said the secret of capturing an autumnal landscape was taking pictures an hour before and after sunset.

‘For me, being up there and taking pictures is the best thing in the world. There’s such a sense of peace and serenity,’ he said.
‘In summer, it’s full of tourists and you can’t get a shot – but in autumn, the colours change and it’s totally different.
‘It’s just great to be away from the hustle and bustle of city life and unwind in such a relaxing and breathtaking place,’ Mr Merrifield added.

Here are some beautiful pictures of Autumn gardens. One of the concepts to keep in mind when designing your garden in Crouch End North London, is to take into account how the garden will look in Autumn, it is after all part of the year round experience of your own piece of urban nature, the fantastic golds and reds of Autumn, leading to the bareness of the dead of winter, are all part of natures year round cycle, and to be equally enjoyed. Especially when you know that spring is on the way.
