Skye prepares its autumn wardrobe

The wildflowers have mostly gone, thistle seeds are drifting in the breeze, and the bracken is turning golden brown. The vivid green of the leaves on my 'favourite' beech tree in Dunvegan woods is fading to a yellower tone. Soon those leaves will begin to fall. Skye is putting on its autumn clothes.

Golden bracken on An Aird, close to Aird View in the Braes.
The rocks are the remains of an ancient dun.
The background peak is Ben Tianavaig.
