Lovely @scroggin. I missed your post when you did it, so thanks to @wild edges for his post bringing it up. I love this time of year There's still a good bit of foliage on trees here, which is quite unusual, but autumn was late arriving, so they held it longer despite early October's best efforts to remove it. I keep forgetting to take the camera when I go out. It's a bit of faff because it's a bit bigger. I suppose that's where the smart phones are useful.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I only took my big camera out on the weekend because my wife wanted some nice photos of the kids. I ended up taking 929 photos to get 46 decent ones. I just have to set the camera to machine gun mode and hope to get a few where they don't look like filthy feral monsters.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
@Fairygirl, @wild edges, my better half has a much better eye for a good photo and is a keen photographer, so I tend to use my phone for snaps of Floss etc. It is very noticeable how the trees are holding on to their leaves much longer this year.
Yes - definitely much longer here. Later October weather normally sees them off, so by early November, most trees are bare. First half of Oct was rougher than usual, but I think because of the late autumn start, they were still well attached so they didn't get blown off so easily. Swings and roundabouts I only have a basic phone for emergencies, so I'd have to take the camera in the wee ruckie I use on daily walks. On the proper ruckie, for hill days, it's attached to the waist strap, so that it's within easy reach.

I've just been having a sort out and came across the Quick Reference Guide for my dSRL camera. The content only runs to 22 pages, of which over half are dedicated to connecting to WiFi, and connecting a smartphone to use to activate the camera. I would hope, mistakenly, that the quick ref guide would provide info on all the basic functions of the camera and it doesn't.
The full camera guide runs to over 700 pages, which is a fat lot of good when you are out and about and can't remember how to correct some obscure setting.
Sony seem to love sub-menus on their cameras. A million functions that I'm sure do amazing things but when you're trying to find the setting to get the focus to track two boys who won't stop running around you've got no chance. You can't even tie their laces together when they're in wellies.
