The colour of Autumn: readers' gallery

Tomorrow’s equinox means summer is really over. But do not despair; before winter takes us in its grasp we’ve got Autumn to soften the blow.

The Independent Online is asking our readers to send in photographs of the onset of Autumn, to compare the changing of the leaves around the country.

One reader, J.J Mills, sent in a series of photographs of a conker he and his wife found on a walk in the country (right).
