November glories

 I was very happy to see some green grass in November and didn't know how grateful I would be for this sight, here is the result!

It started like this and we got the most amazing colours

Intense reds, hard to believe 

Mellow yellow and some leaf drop

On a soggy day the leaves looked rich

But then the snow started, even at the beach

It was too soon and the leaves that were heavy on the trees dropped

On snow!

The big gingko shrug

Ginkgo and snow all of a mix

It felt back to front

Beautiful but too soon

Trees dropped all their leaves and the snow had a carpet of leaves atop

The effects were beautiful

But so many leaves on white

The sunsets were dramatic as the light faded earlier and earlier

Till we travelled to the green isle

The rich green of the grass and the chummy mushrooms a marvel

Every type and colour

Heavy skies

and heavy rough seas

On this day I was hardly able to stand upright in the wind

Swaying palms

With skittering clouds

This apricot sky was found above a car park

Then quick as you like, back to calm

And the signs of the season

Mossy paths

sky, land and seas

It was a total mill pond

I found some friends on a walk one morning

There really is something about rain washed roads

The journey to the top of the hill always exhilarating

and although you can't see it, it was an exceptionally windy day

Sun lit road

Flowering gorse

Down to the castle

The sink is full in this harbour and whipping over the wall

The sky as always a draw....

I hope you have a lovely calm holiday time
