I have a confession to make: I’ve been longing for snow – or at least a hard frost.
This time last year, it was – 18 C with golden sunsets in the middle of the afternoon.
(Here’s one of my favourite pictures from last winter.)
Lately, it’s been grey and foggy with bare branches glowing pink at dawn.
But, just as I’m about to feel very sorry for myself,
I take another look at this November’s early glowing sunset
And realize that…
… Sometimes it’s easy to miss the colours of the rainbow because you’re too busy looking for the pot of gold.

Very beautiful shots. I always enjoy the first frost. We’ve had frost but it isn’t sticking around very long in the morning so I’m not getting good frost shots. The main frozen thing I’m getting are my bird baths and they look more like glass when I dump them off. Same thing with leaves that freeze over when it rains all day and freezes at night. Reminds me more of glass on the leaves than frost.
