The last day of November and for once the weather was in tune with the season with frost and mist to start the day…..
and as the sun started to rise above the tree line it shed a rich warming glow over the woods. Now bare of leaf but the Silver Birch fronds manage to add a red tinge to the skeletal canopy…
Down by the lakes side the low mornings sun created a warm spotlight…..
The lake itself is still and somehow looks denser than usual, perhaps with temperature hovering arround zero it will soon freeze…….
For some trees I do think that the winter months tend to show them at their dramatic best. The sturdy trunks of these Ash spreading into a host of branches, each in turn with its own network of fingers reaching as if to grab the sky…..
Back home in our garden the Sedum has done its very best to retain its heads of deep burgundy red flower , but I fear for not much longer as they are sprinkled with todays frost and ice….
Our winter flowering Chrysanthemums are still a beacon of colour in what is becoming an increasingly dark winter garden of dull green and browns….
Ivy does its best to add some bright green leaf to the trees as it clings and climbs the trunks of the older trees….
Tomorrow is the first day of December….a new month but also the last month of this year and yes, it will soon be Christmas.

A very good series from November, David. It actually look lovely, not cold and dark.

An excellent fare-thee-well to November. You still have much more foliage in, on, and under your trees than we do. I miss it, but I’m really ready for winter now. Thanks for this warm and gorgeous new set!

A beautiful series of photographs – once again. It does look rather cold. My favourite is the first one. Just such a lovely ambience with the frost still on the grass.
