And that's that for September. Took close to a thousand pictures in October and November because it was a stunning autumn all round. Lot of editing to do, but wil be back as soon as I can manage

Re: Ray's Photos
October is my birth month, but that's not the only reason it's among my favourites. Summer and autmn (and occasionally winter!) co-exist in it, the light's at a good low angle all day long, there's plenty of colour, fruit everywhere... Anyways, October in Covid Year 2, Taunton.

Re: Ray's Photos
Another flailing attempt at seeing off October before the year ends. Plenty of indoor shots, sparked in part by this being the month that I found a new source of inspiration (or inhalation, depending on your point of view) after more than six months of eking and abstinence.
Pink Uns
Fancy gerbera bought at Hestercombe
It Won't Throw Itself
Over the last eight years or so, Scrap has averaged finding a ball a week, often in the most unlikely places. He has a special talent for it. He then expects me to throw them for him to chase. Unfortunately for him, though, I just won't (various reasons including a recurring rotator cuff problem), and he usually ends up taking tennis balls off into the long grass, ripping the covers off, then chomping the innards to destruction. It isn't pretty, not at all. The only alternative is that I wrest it from him, and either bin the ruins, or, if it is more or less whole, pocket it, and head off home, where he is free to disembowel and otherwise enjoy his booty in the garden.
Bombed Again
There was I taking a telephoto shot of the delightfully sinuous curve of that wall in Private Road when H imself decided that what the composition really need was more dog's arse. I know I could have edited him out, and in fact I did, bringing in the left edge to the far gate post, taking out the car and balancing up the composition, and, you know what? - The little fucker was right.

Rarely use the panorama function on my camera as the results do not fit easily on line and that starburst effect is a little off-putting.
Anyways, remember that picture of the dog with the ball? the waters are lapping at the spot he was standing...

...and this swamp was formerly my favourite forest clearing for the purpose of downing a few bowls in the presence of nature

That's that for October. You will be thrilled to hear, I'm sure, that a combination of mild weather and little in the way of wind meant that the autumn colour lasted through November, but it will be be next year before we get to that.
And I wish everyone a happier year in 2022.

Re: Ray's Photos
Last November had its wetnesses, but the best thing about it was that the temperatures kept up and there were no serious winds, so the leaves stayed on the trees well into the month, and beyond at times, and there was stil a fair amount of colour in the garden.
