What a pleasant month

In the olden days they said:

“October extinguished itself in a rush of howling winds and driving rain and November arrived, cold as frozen iron, with hard frosts every morning and icy drafts that bit at exposed hands and faces.”

But nowadays it appears November is mild, calm and continuing Golden – should we pleased or worried?

  1. I like the illuminated diagonal photo… I think I must see things around our place like you do but don’t have the time nor your talent to capture them. Like those clouds, nature is so beautiful.

  2. Thanks, I’d been looking to capture a good lichen picture for a while. The low lighting is so beautiful at this time of year.
