Safe Haunting

Have a fun and safe haunting evening.

Cheering Colours

When the sun shines on yellow leaves a sparkle happens.

Planning Ahead

Winter wheat, planted and sprouted.
This will be harvested next summer.
While we are getting ready for the winter season of colder days and longer nights, the farmer has his crop sown and is already preparing for next summer.

Grape Arch

Spotted this wonderful arch over the entrance to a garden just brimming with grapes.
Have to wonder how they keep the birds from eating them all.

Spring Flowers

This ceanothus bush flowered in the spring.
For reasons not known, it is flowering agin in October, most strange.

Autumn Leaves

These are on a beech bush, I think if left to grow it would become a rather elegant tree. But, for now it is a beautiful small bush.

Gentle Sea, Rough Sea.

The sea looks so calm and serene on a misty morning.
But, can you even imagine the force of the waves that brought this large log into this bay?

Fresh Carrots

Fresh carrots, don't they look great?

Ex-Hurricane, Sahara Dust, Portuguese Smoke

So, the Ex-hurricane Ophelia, pulled up sand from the Sahara desert, smoke from wildfires in Portugal. This led to us seeing a rather red looking sun and sky.

 

Later the sky turned an eerie yellow green colour.

Sea Defences

Saw this interesting building right next to the sea.

Lush Green Hills

Green fields and stone walls.
Rugged and beautiful countryside.

Sunshine on Autumn Leaves

The colours of the leaves on this tree just cannot be beaten.
Spectacular!!!

Home Grown, Pumpkin, Squash and Aubergine

Home grown, pumpkin, squash and aubergine.
Not a great display and I think I will try and add to it tomorrow, but, the orange and purple are definitely Halloween colours.
The pumpkin, is small and will make a fabulous pumpkin pie. 
The aubergine, (eggplant) is an unusual variety, again home grown.
The squash is of indeterminate origin and probably not edible.

Cheerful in the Rain

A cheerful flower even when in the rain.

Fallen Leaves Around A Puddle

Lots of yellow and brown leaves mixed with some still green ones.
Love the light reflected in the water.

Bright Autumn Leaves

These fallen leaves are just beautiful. The colours are so vivid.
Sunshine makes all the difference.

Red Admiral Butterfly

It is hard to think that a bright butterfly could be so well camouflaged while sipping nectar on the ivy flowers.
The ivy provides loads of sweet nectar at this time of year, good news for insects who are about to hibernate.

Early Morning Autumn Sun

Old churchyard.
Some of these stones have been here for several hundred years.

Tall & Narrow

A tall and narrow home!
Looks lovely in the autumn sunshine.

Flat Toadstool

My knowledge of fungi is not good.
I do not know what this toadstool is or even if it is a mushroom.

It is however, very flat and delicate.
