A weekend in Devon

All a bit out of order I fear, but a few photos of the lovely weekend in a big country house

with twelve others - lots of eating, drinking, talking. We were lucky with the weather, in November, going on the beach in the sunshine.


A little dog strolls in the sunshine on Saunton beach, happy as a butcher's dog.


Evening comes only too soon....


....and with it comes the sunset in all its pinks and purples...


a happy cormorant poses kindly for me.


in the house, looking down the stairwell, but not contemplating throwing myself over it.


A little bit of morning mist is always attractive, even if it does mean its time to go.

autumn leaves for my mother

My mother's favourite time of year, and colours of the year, was autumn.

Walking down the river, on a mild sunny day, I could only agree.


She died in Autumn, so these leaves will shift in the breeze in remembrance of her.
