THE SHOULDER MONTH OF NOVEMBER

The sun is low in the sky at this time of year. Sometimes, especially here on the west coast of Scotland, we can go for days without seeing the sun because of the grey cloud cover. However, when the morning starts off with a blue sky and there are long shafts of weak November sunshine, it is Out With the Camera! No time to travel or explore; just capture what is on the doorstep.

Rose bush under the kitchen window (9:00 am). The sun no longer reaches it. The petals are quite solid (despite having put a poly bag over the bush the previous night) and the water droplets are frozen. Later in the day, when the temperature came above freezing. the petals were none the worse for the experience.

Leaves in the driveway at Kilmardinny House, 9:30 am.


Leaves in the car park at Kilmardinny House, same time.
