First Frost...

...and mist over the river, with sunshine filtered through the yellowing leaves of the trees. It was an absolutely gorgeous morning to walk the dog along the Offa's Dyke Path - where there is a new finger post, at the top of the steps on the other side of the river. Amongst other things, like the Wye Valley Walk, it tells you that Kington is 14 miles away along the footpath.
Down at the water's edge, dodging the flying seeds from the Himalayan Balsam as I ducked through them to watch Islay having a little paddle, I noticed that the mist was moving at the same speed as the water in the river.
I haven't seen the six cygnets for a while, but the adult swans have been about.
When I came up out of the woods, most of the mist was gone, and it was a beautiful sunny (and cold) morning.
