Watch the colours change! Autumn photo special!
All these pictures come from Richard Kilsby, who wrote:
"Here are some photos of where I live. North Yorkshire. The Oct ones were taken over a period of a few weeks. To demonstrate how quickly the Virginia Creeper grew over the summer I have included two taken in August just after I had a week away. The creeper crept all over the windows! For the technically minded the Virginia Creeper is also know as Boston Ivy - Parthenocissus tricuspidata. It has had the most vigourous growth for at least 30 years."

Good grief looks like you are in danger of being engulfed, Richard!

How amazing.
It makes my earlier contribution of our Boston Ivy pale into insignificance.
Beautiful building aswell

Wow, that's amazing!
Not just the colour change, just having your entire house-front covered in foliage looks great. What does it do to the brick work, I wonder.

This is the new government strategy on "warm front" home insulation. You only pay a grand and they subsidise the rest of the cost.

Yes. All it took was a subtle hint that she had to be up early for work the next morning. Not a problem.

DMcN: "This is the BBC World Service."
Oh! I meant to say, thank you Richard K for the photos, and what a great idea to send in a sequence so we can enjoy autumn in N Yorks, too.

Here you are [glug, glug]. I did get the day wrong, though, so fairy nuff. Got the US elections muddled up with Glenrothes. Easy enough to do.

No spiders get into the house!
It could be that birds eat them? Boston Ivy is not invasive like English Ivy that gets into brickwork etc. This year it has invaded the guttering though.
Most of the leaves have dropped off now and in the absence of high winds I have had to sweep them up.
Two wheelie bins so far.
It is well worth the effort though..
