November the 6th ….And All is well….

1a_00051_DSC8271bb

Well…November the 5th has come and gone.  Guy Fawkes has been remembered once again for the failed Gunpowder, Treason, Plot and yes, the Houses of Parliament are still standing…..now its just the media that are planning its downfall!

The best part of the 5th was that it dawned to a bright warm sun.

The low sun ignited the colour of the bracken that has now dried and dying back, sweet chestnut leaves litter the woodland floor….presenting a rich colour packed carpet.

Still not sure that we will enjoy the usual feast of autumnal colour.  The Silver Birch, normally bare skeletons by now, are draped with dry yellowing leaves, Beech are just turning but for the most part leaves are still green but dry waiting the next frost or wind to speed there fall to the floor….

 

By the Lake the Poplar are now naked, gone are the leaves that in previous years have given us a wonderful golden glow across the Lake…

Best not to complain, with temperatures reaching 12c and rich blue skies it has been a ‘bonus’ November day.

  1. And in the Fall
    She went away
    For good she left this Earth.
    I know she is happy now.
    No more pain
    No more shortage of breath.
    She did see some bare trees from the hospital window
    And then gently slipped away from corporal life.
    Goodbye, Betty C, 93.

    Thank you David. You have said all the right tings. I am very grateful. And yes… I love your woods. Overehere it is noticably advanced when it comes down to leaves on branches… Most trees have lost almost all of theit leaves byb now. But we have some sunshine, no wind and it’s lovely outside.

    1. So sorry Lydia…..you knew it was going to happen so I suppose you could prepare yourself for the loss, but never easy. The positive is that you do have lots of good memories and the knowledge that you had the privilege of knowing Betty. Bless.

  2. It never will be, but your FAB photos do a lot of good in that direction. Thank you. And knowing how she was in live. Loving, laughing, no worries and living by the moment. Now that’s a good example to try and follow.
