I love the way you turn the pages of your seasons. "..a few bright torches burning on the mountainside.." Beacons of hope, against the inexorable Winter.
I enjoy sharing with you the subtle changes of the weather, while you are receiving the first rains, down here we are surrounded by blossoms and mild weather, quite windy up hear on the mountains I should say.
Hens still on strike? would that have anything to do with the weather's changes?
That was about the time in the Northeast when I would start feeling sad. Winter was coming soon and we were in for cold, cold, cold and lots of snow. Uhhh. I can see why more people become depressed in the winter. Your pics are gorgeous as usual. Thanks.
Hope you have a very gentle amount of snow this winter my dear...when I come to see you I´m always expecting to see lots of snow at your property... like last year, it impressed me so much!!! cariños maria cecilia
After looking at your images - and reading the words accompanying them - I feel as if something special had just happened before my eyes. Wonderful imagery, I am smitten.
Vicki - I meant to mention - you asked about Bess of Hardwick. There are biographies: 'Bess of Hardwick, Portrait of an Elizabethan Dynast' by David N Durant & another by Mary S Lovell. Both get good reviews though I haven't read them. Plus a novel or two: 'A Woman of Passion' by Virginia Henley & 'The Tower & the Dream' by Jan Westcott.
Barb -- I think it has to do with less light -- which is why in winter I often spend a lot of time by a sunny window.
Maria Cecilia -- I'm hoping we won't have as much snow as last year but I comfort myself with the thought that I can always visit you beautiful garden when I need a touch of summer.
Merisi == and I had more pictures of the eastern view after the clouds rolled away -- including one with a rainbow. It's a subject I never tire of ...

Gorgeous photos, especially the last one. The apricot leaves against the bare grey trunks...stunning!
(And I'm so glad the little vole from your previous post made it to safety).

Even when the clouds surround you, there is still beauty to be seen.

Pamela -- they usually lay less in cold weather -- but it's not really cold yet. It's more likely tied to fewer hours of daylight. And the moulting.

torches....nice
The spectacle is over for another year, but as you say and demonstrate, there is beauty to be had in nature
in any season.
Evocative pictures - another season dying and a new one rising. It's raining here too - not gentle, there are floods in Cornwall.

Beautiful photographs. And today is absolutely gorgeous with bright sunshine and blue skies. What a difference a day makes.
