I hope you get a show on the estate, the sycamores look rather dismal, I must go and check out the river walk...Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-74237239613313535472014-10-11T08:57:16.064+01:002014-10-11T08:57:16.064+01:00Hi Jane, It looks like the change has just started...Hi Jane, It looks like the change has just started - I've spotted the odd suspicion of yellow starting to show on a few of the leaves VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-30959668535649006822014-10-10T23:55:05.249+01:002014-10-10T23:55:05.249+01:00Still looks perky to me !

I've not had a chance to go out but I reckon this sudden burst of weather activity will have torn many leaves from trees without bothering first with autumn. Wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't torn branches down too. Our nearest ash trees are in a very sheltered place so they may well be parallel with yours in your photo.
