Majestic Golden Eagle in autumn hues
Minna Jacobon at Finnish Nature has posted some stunning golden eagle photos. I hope you click on the link above to see the rest of them as they are well worth your time.
Recently, we had some continuously windy and rainy weather for about five days, although each evening the wind died away and the atmosphere relaxed into night.

The rain was generally persistent throughout the evening and night periods but sometimes there were clear breaks as well. This picture is of one of those clear breaks. The lake was like a mill pond while there was some mist in the distance and the lights began to be visible.
Happy Sunday.
The autumn fashions are beginning to arrive.

They are still a bit muted, but are coming along.

It’s amazing how the colours suddenly started to appear about three days ago.

I saw some interesting cloud formations that were lit by an almost full moon.

Happy Thursday.

Happy Wednesday.

The rain continues with overcast skies punctuated by short sunny breaks and quite a lot of wind! Autumn has definitely blown in.

It’s still very comfortable outside but the cooler temperatures are nice even if the wind tries to steal your shirt! There will likely be a few more completely lovely days before autumn’s invigorating coolness and stunning colours start arriving.
Happy Tuesday.
