November changes

 The last blog of the year and it seems amazing that we have once again had four seasons and all the weather associated. So many amazing skies that have been captured this year and I hope that you enjoy this last glance back with me of November

The day after halloween there are always left overs for the bin man, I marvel at the carving

and the gingko is still giving

Bright stark light

Spindly trees and leaf plies

It is in November that the nights draw in and the dying light of the day is always indigo

Bright moon this 5pm in November 

Speeding along the shore and the sky is wide and full of colour

So many storms come this time of year

I love the pink boat it always cheers me and rough seas leaving seaweed behind. Great reflections on the sands

This evening as the light went the was this curtain of cloud

The sun had one last peep

the glow continues

and by the time I got home it was amazing to see the colour of the sun going down behind the hill

This made me laugh out loud, the tree has been tied down thoroughly to make it through those storms that come off the front! valiant efforts here

Once again the curtain of the night coming across the sky

This is night time on the beach

I went to see the sun rise and was lucky even with the clouds I got to see it

Fabulous berries

I love the walls being so alive with tiny plants

and lovely to see colour in November

Nightlight

This is day break

The rooks and crows near the cottage gathering for the evening

Looking out for the rising sun I thought I would be disppointed until I turned around!

Just the most amazing orangey clouds

and the sun made an appearance

Houses built quite close together!

I love this shot, it has all you need the rising sun, the lighthouse and the water with little islands of rock

This is super blown up to show the mountains on the other side of the water! What a marvel they are

The sky really was that colour! Pure indigo

and lovely orange leaves

I wish you all a Merry Christmas 

Time flies

 As we rush to the end of the summer. I realised that there are probably too many photos to show in one sitting. But here are a few of the recent favorites from the past couple of months and the sights that I hope you like too

I have a new appreciation for hydrangea's 

The skies in Port Erin! are a constant source of amazement to me

A buzzy bee finds a bramble

Rather cool graffiti stencil

This sign in a garage is super!

Staying in the West feels like the best treat

The seaweed on the island is so green

These sea gulls are pretty special. I had to be quick for seagulls they were shy!

Fantastic door knockers

best use yet that I have seen for a disused telephone box

matching flora and road works

The many different bolts like a history of the bolt for this door

The heather was in full bloom. Turning hillside purple

Amazing seas

and misty murky days

spectacular sunsets in Douglas 

Yard bombing is such a jolly thing and in the isle of man Peel has recently been bestowed

I love that this ancient church still has its tombstone's and is so well laid out. The houses looking onto the church yard

The landscape on the island often looks unreal. This was a fantastic day, huge skies and big winds

Something poignant to make you think, this was just scrawled on a wall in a stair case

The only jelly fish that I saw

the clouds that I on the island were really quite amazing

But home in Canada we have clouds too, this one glowed

Happy Fall
