3 Sunlight in the woodlands
4 Signs of autumn
5 These plants are known locally as "ink plants" the berries stain bright purple
6 Winter fuel
7 Sunlit path we came along
8 The mushroom! They are known as "drums and sticks" in dialect because of the long stalk and flat heads (Mazze di tamburo)
9 Coming out of the woods towards the rice fields
10 Dead thistles - back to the start of the walk over looking the harvested rice field
Its amazing how similar the countryside is to here, number 7 could be a walk I have done, and 10 has an end of the season feel about it, nice.
