Maximum temperature today 10C, minimum 1C. 1mm rain measured this morning but it has been raining almost every day for the past week.; 12km/h North-easterly winds gusting up to 23 km/h.
Sunset a week ago today.
Wednesday's drive, we were out to lunch with friends...
along the road...
a little tractor.
Back home the trees have dropped their leaves - the small Cherry and the larger Acer...
and the Ginkgo.
The flowers on the choisya ternata are surviving the weather.
A visitor to the garden, it has been around for a couple of weeks. Red-legged Partridge (Alectoris rufa).
House sparrow (Passer domesticus).
Acrobatic Eurasian blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus).
Great tit (Parus major).
The sunset last night; photos were taken about 10 minutes apart. The top being the first one and the bottom the last.
So beautiful Diane!! Take care (love yours bids pictures)
ReplyDeleteThanks Gloria for the vist, hope you have a good week Diane
DeleteYou must be really delighted to have the partridge visit your yard. It is a very handsome bird indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt vanished for a few days and I was convinced that it was in someones cook pot, but it has been around for the last couple of days again 😊 Hope the rest of the week is good to you, Diane
DeleteIt's beginning to look like winter. Those Tits are such adorable posers.
ReplyDeleteYes winter is here and I am cold everyday. We have only had a cople of frosts so it is going to get very much worse yet, we have ben promised a bad winter this year!!😒 Keep warm Diane

DeleteTres belle sunset shots Diane, the sky was on fire! Love your sweet birds.. going over now to check out your bird blog ✨
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, merci beacoup for the comment, I do love sunsets but they are rare in winter and generally I miss the best ones in summer!! Since moving the office upstairs I do not see them as we have a skylight and I cannot see the horizon. I should remember to go downstairs and take a look!! Kepp well Diane
DeleteSweet little pimpelmees. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Aritha, I hope all is well in Holland, and with your family. Take care Diane
DeleteYour pics are really making me appreciate nature today.
ReplyDeleteNature is amazing but it can so cruel as well. Autumn though is a great time for photos. Have a good day, cheers Diane
DeleteBeautiful pictures. I always love nature.
ReplyDeleteThanks Krishna for your comment and visit, appreciated. Nature is wonderful though sometimes very cruel!! Have a good weekend Diane
DeleteRain for a week is better than bushfires for a week. The bird photos are soon good.
ReplyDeleteHow right you are and thankfully we are on high ground so not a huge problem. Have a good weekend, t'other Diane
DeleteWOW, those sunset photos are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt seems I never have a camera with me or not the right one anyway when I witness a great sunset!
Lovely to see your garden and another wow for the ginkgo, a tree I love... I had planted a male and a female too but the Roe deer didn't leave them a chance!!
Enjoy the weekend, although the weather in the next days looks dull and wet....
Warm hugs Diane!
Thanks so much for the kind comment. I generally use Nigel's Nikon Coolpix S7000 for sunsets and it almost always in my pocket and not his!!! Yes the weather does not look good, roll on spring...... Keep warm and take care hugs Diane
DeleteThat first shot is AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam, as always I generally see the sunsets a bit late but this was still OK. Have a good weekend, Diane
DeleteWow! What a glorious sunset.
ReplyDeleteThanks they happen from time to time but not as good in winter as in summer. Hope all is well Diane
DeleteYour sunsets are fabulous, Diane! With my very best wishes - - - Richard
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard, I do love sunsets but since we moved the office upstairs, and we only have a Velox window I miss quite a few!! Best wishes Diane
