Last leaves of the fall?

What a difference a day makes. This is always a favourite spot for me in the woods of Arnside Knott. Yesterday though the mist transformed it into something like Lothlorien from Lord of the Rings, compare here. I might have bumped into Galadriel as I headed down the track.

Today at the same time in the morning, it was heavily overcast and the rain was just starting, hence a much more down to earth image.

I have blipped this view before in the summer when dappled light was cast on the woodland floor and the beech trunk.

Waxwing update: we saw them from the office in Kendal today.
