November Highlights

37 Comments

It was a rather rainy month but we definitely had some beautiful colours to admire, if only for a short time. Here’s a selection.

A fiery red maple and some blue sky, so it wasn’t raining all the time!
A sweet little duck looking for lunch among the leaves.
Leaves were everywhere.
I loved watching this swan family.
Lots and lots more leaves.
The hydrangeas lasted very well.
A lace leaf maple at the height of its autumn glory.
A little late afternoon sun. As the month wore on, the overcast took over and decided to settle in.
It rained a lot …
… and snowed a lot, but all that white stuff stayed in the mountains!

The beauties of autumn are mostly gone now but we’re entering a time of year for seasonal celebrations and lots of light displays. Not as good as nature’s shows but definitely also a lovely time of year.

Season’s Greetings.

    1. Hi Annika, thank you very much. 😊 Yes, the colours were beautiful and I really didn’t mind the rain too much because we still needed it so badly against the drought conditions. But I believe our water table is now where it should be, so November had other good things going on besides colours. 😊 And yes, lots of festivities coming up. We had our winter parade yesterday evening. Lots of fun. Cheers.

  5. Another colorful set of photos! Of course I’m particular to the swans. But I just really like how the ‘color temperature’ changes between pictures from loud, fiery, and bright to duller, silver and blue. A nice contrast.

    1. Thank you very much, Daniel. 😊 I very much appreciate your comment. I wanted to give a sense of the decay occurring amid the beauty of the colours. I find the death of the season and the year poignant.

  7. Hard to believe December is here. I like your “it rained a lot” shot with the colours and textures of autumn reminding me of multi coloured potato chips .Yesterday was the best weather day we had in Vancouver in almost 1 1/2 months. So amazing the difference the sun can make. Happy December Lynette. Allan

    1. Thank you very much, Allan. Hahaha. 😊 – yes, those leaves do look like chips! Mostly ketchup chips, maybe? Glad to hear that you had a good day; we’re supposed to get a number of them in a row! Very exciting! Exactly; the sun makes a lot of difference especially when the gloom has been prevailing.
