Golden hedgerows in South Somerset.

In the late afternoon of December 1st, the first day of meteorological winter, I took a stroll with my camera around the fields east of Dillington Park Drive on the fringe of Ilminster in South Somerset.
As dusk approached I took some photos.  Looking west it did look as though winter was approaching as the hedgerows appeared bare of leaves.

However, looking east there were still enough Beech, Oak and Hawthorn leaves clinging to the branches to produce a wonderful copper coloured effect in the last of the day's sunshine.
