Sun on the Beech

This group of trees is  growing just over a mile from our cottage, alongside a busy road. Every time I pass, this Autumn, I have to smile. The Beech and Birch have been so very golden, making a pool of sunshine on the dullest days. Today, with the sun shining on them, I just had to take a picture....the leaves will soon be off the trees, and then it will be as though that beauty never existed. Such is the ephemeral nature of Nature's Beauty!
