Autumn in the Esplanade- again...

I guess I really am one for seeing the seasons progress.... so here are some more autumn pics from the Esplanade.
I went on a very similar walk to last weekend, but from the other direction. It was just over 3km- so as I suspected/knew, for some reason Strava didn't record my whole walk last weekend. I know it's a free app and all that- but I think it used to be more reliable in the past than it is presently.

 There are still roses blooming in the rose gardens, and various other blooms in the Esplanade gardens.
 I love the Peter Black Conservatory- whatever the season there seem to be some surprises to see indoors. It isn't a huge conservatory, but it has some fascinating plants.
 And outdoors there were lots of signs of autumn. It was a dull day, but the autumn leaves still brought colour.



 Across the river, some bare trees are already announcing winter is near...

Near the end of my walk, I noticed this sign. Strangely enough, I had never noticed it before...
