Cold morning at Allestree Lake
The weather as per forecast was wet and very heavy rain for Saturday…today they were unsure as to what to predict. So it was a surprise as we were given yet another ‘bonus’ day . Cold certainly and the sun did cast long dark shadows whilst doing its best to brighten the day….but try as it did, there was still that cold blue look to the light.
Change was more noticeable in the woods…
Lots of leaves giving a deep crunchy carpet to the woodland floor but surprisingly still plenty of green to add confusion to the season feel..


Even at mid-day the sun worked hard to add some warmth to the day, but this is November so perhaps a mid-day high of 7c is not either untypical or for that matter that bad.
But it was nice to get back to the warmth…and Buster secured is spot in the fading afternoon sun to ‘chill out….in the warmth!’

and that look say…..”Do Not Disturb“
