To celebrate the best of the season, we asked you to share your photos of autumn in Lowton and Golborne with us.
As the season comes to an end, we’ve created a gallery of the best pictures received, and as you can see, there was lots to enjoy.
Thanks to all those who sent in photos – we hope you enjoy them as much as we did…
Dilys Gore
Taken right at the turn of the season, Dily’s photo captures a very much wanted visitor to her garden in Lowton. This red admiral butterfly seems to be taking time out to sunbathe on a warm and ripe romato growing in Dily’s garden. And luckily stayed still long enough for her to photograph it!
Andrew Bromelow
Andrew’s photos were taken on a windy walk in Lowton as the season began. He’s captured the sunlight streaming through the tree canopies as the leaves begin to change colour – and spotted one of the first tell-tale signs of the season – the conker – out on this travels, too.
Claire Shepherd
Claire took this photo in Lightshaw Meadow, just off Byrom Woods. She said it’s: “our very own Stonehenge in Autumnal backdrop.” Lovely.
Kim Edwards
Kim took both these photos on a walk along the canal near Pennington Flash. The first shows a tree in full autumn splendor, reflected in the deep blue waters of the canal. And the second is a picture-perfect red toadstool, nestling amongst the fallen leaves.
Valerie Hurst
You may remember admiring these lovely autumn coloured cherry trees on Church Lane – captured on camera here by Valerie. They are one of a number of trees along this route which put on a spectacular display in both spring and autumn… a real joy.
Mike O’Brien
These beautiful photos show a watery autumn sunshine over Pennington Flash, taken by Mike O’Brien. The fading sun gives the pictures an almost mystical feel.
