Thanks to the two kind people who made Ko-fi donations this week. We don't ask for donations much as the moment as know times are hard for many but do very much appreciate all support given. ❤️

Looks like the last bright day before a stint of heavy rain. Glad we got out for a short time to enjoy the colours.

Are you planning a walk round the block this lunchtime?

The November colour palette. 🍂

What treasures have you seen this week?
small yellow leaves from a tree on the ground on a gloomy day bright orange berries on an ornamental bush in someone's garden. large dry brown leaves and twigs on the ground. one mushroom poking through. colourful leaves of a cherry tree. in a cluster of 10 or so leaves, some are still green, but droopy, some are red / pink, some are yellow and orange. some are a mix. perfect.
