A rainbow sunset
Sunset at just gone 14.30 today has its perks.
The grey cloud lifted to reveal rainbow reflections, ice on the lake
And, of course, a posing Ruby.
(All photos taken with my mobile phone.)

Golden goldens
We finally got some minus temperatures and diamond-studded grass
As the sun peeked over the horizon at gone 8 am
Turning everything into gold.

November gold
November has been a time of
Mellow fog and bare trees.
The golden coins of leaves
Lie on the ground.
Stubborn mists
Give the scenery (and Ruby) a misty quality
And make the golden tones of dog and reeds pop.
We finally had some icy weather
But that doesn’t stop Simmie from taking a swim.

Pretty in pink
Trees rise out of the early morning fog —
They seem to be floating in the rose-tinged dawn.

The sonata of light
Hark! I hear the trumpet call
Of delicious autumn light.
It calls me through the mist
And drenches me with its music.
Splashes of colour
Every November, we forget how gloomy it can be.
So we need to find small moments of joy where we can —
Be it a serene lake and a dog;
Or the orange burst of a boat
And its perfect mirror image.

Blue-tiful autumn
I like the autumn skies:
With a dog or two
And without!

The English countryside
When I was in England recently, I went on a long walk
Along the banks of the river that snaked like a silver ribbon
Through the Sussex countryside.
It was a hazy, warm day.
Bramber castle and adjoining Norman church
Lay nestled in an autumn tinged valley.
One of the bushes next to the river
Was humming with bright yellowhammers.
(If you look in the centre of the shot, you’ll see their bright yellow wings.)
And, of course, no trip to Sussex is complete
Without a picture of the sheep grazing on the Downs.

Autumn creatures
Let me take you on an autumn walk —
Through crunchy leaves and quiet fields of deer.
Down to the lake we go,
Simmie leads the way to upside-down peace.
Further along, Ruby – Queen of jumping on stones –
Poses in front of a tree in full foliage firework.

Upside down autumn
I drink in the autumn beauty
Of upside down leaves with dog;
Of torches made of leaves
Lighting the way slowly
But surely to winter;
I sing the days of
Autumn’s glory.

I have a very busy week ahead so may not get round to commenting on your blogs.
