Day 309: Last of the Autumn Fall

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
― Albert Camus

Today it definitely felt like November. Although Autumn continues until December, Winter has already seemed to set in. Astronomically, Winter is set to begin on the 21st of December which is the Winter Solstice, but Meteorologists start it on the 1st of December. Either way, it’s happening now!

So armed with the camera, I decided it was a great moment to capture the last of the Autumn leaves on the huge Beech Tree that we have at the top of the garden. A brilliant blue sky, which is rare these days, framed everything perfectly.

A slightly poor attempt at blogging today – especially as whilst I’m typing Buddy is lying on the floor moaning because he knows it’s too rainy for a walk – which was where I would have got some different photos! But there’s always tomorrow. Which is forecast – rain.
