Blue and gold


A day which started with thick freezing fog cleared to sun and brilliant blue and gold.  Above, a fishing hut on the banks of the Spey, under the shoulder of Ben Aigen. 

The birches are at the height of their autumn colour.  After these frosts the next gales will strip their leaves.
 

Even the grey days of November have fleeting moments where the gold sings out, in the larches on the hillside and the contrast of leaves and grey slate.
 

Thank you for all the good wishes for my father.  He is improving slowly, and is now out of hospital.

  5. Good morning Linda,

    Good news about your father, that must come as a relief to you. The autumn leaves seem particularly beautiful and vibrant this year. The good summer will have helped immensely. I love all of your pictures, but particularly the one with the fishing hut. Have a good week.

  10. I'm glad to hear the news about your father. And these photos are lovely - our leaves are long-gone, as we've already seen several small snowfalls at our house.

    Colorado can be so dry that we joke when somebody knocks over a glass of water, "what will you name that river?"
