November miscellany

 

 

Autumn gains pace

The preliminaries of Autumn are now over.  The clocks have changed, resulting in a closing in of the end of the day, the stronger winds have removed most of the leaves from the trees and now just a  few colourful stragglers remain.

Berries and a piece of string

These berries are overhanging a farm track next to my house  –  a track that leads from the fields to the barn where straw and hay is stored.  The binding string in the picture has obviously blown from a passing wagon and has attached itself loosely to the sprigs of berries.  I was attracted to this images by the play of sunlight on the berries and on the string blowing in the breeze.  I have removed a very noisy background to focus on the main elements.

 

 

Autumn watercolours

These three pictures are the result of my experimentation with the watercolour filter which, I felt, was appropriate to the subject matter.  I am not displeased with the final images.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today in the garden

Change is in the air

The photos below were taken during a stroll along the bridle way on Sunday morning, the last day of September.  There are clear indications of the transition from late summer into autumn.
