Now the leaves are really changing colour. The beech trees, which have had a yellow tint, are starting to acquire their majestic autumn shades — gold, orange, purple and a lustrous bronze. These varied colours will be intermingled everywhere among the foliage, with patches of green still to be seen among them. Eventually they will form deep, long-lasting carpets under the trees. Hornbeam leaves turn more evenly yellow and drop, when the moment comes, in a shower like rain. They have their seeds, boxed together like little Chinese lanterns, hanging among them. Sycamore trees are in many shades of yellow. Along riversides, crack willows are spangled with long, yellow, fish-like leaves that will tumble on to towpaths and into the water. Oak trees in fields and woods are still mostly green, although they have small clusters of brown leaves showing on them.
