It is a dark and dreary night, something is nasty in the woodshed and SAD looms.
Ladybirds everywhere looking for somewhere to spend the winter - inside and out, on windows and curtains, landing in my hair. So they know something about the coming winter that I do not?
So, let me get rid of the autumn colours first -
There, now that is done, for now. The cherries in fact have only just got going. The best colours used to be the third week in October but now it is into November.
There are still some flowers in the garden, enough for a small vase at least.
The rooks in the trees are restless, not looking forward to the winter though there are a lot of berries this year for other birds. I have not seen any redwings nor fieldfares yet. The crows make a lot of noise at times especially if disturbed by something - this is unlikely to be me in cold damp weather.
So with the cherries turning there is still room for shape and colours in the small shrubs.
And the odd calendula blasts out its colour.
