Day: November 14, 2014

Yesterday started out well and got worse.  Today started out worse and got better weather wise.

After a dreary morning and early afternoon having spent hours repairing the depredations Itunes had dealt to my music library, the sky suddenly cleared and I set off in search of good light.  This was the shot I intended taking.  With the glancing light it looked good.  Good colour in the grass and a bit of texture in the land and sky.

This was the first shot I got and it looked better than I had hoped for.  The warm light from the low sun lit up the land perfectly IMO.  I even managed to capture a homeward bound crow silhouetted against the far hills.  And you thought it was a dust bunny – shame on you!

It looked like a decent morning, so I decided to get up and out fairly early. By the time I had dragged myself out, it had dulled down a bit, but at least it was dry. Wen along the path from Auchinstarry to Twechar and got some autumnal photos.

Queenzieburn and the Campsies

Another Scottish pronunciation anomaly. Although it is spelled Queenzieburn, it is pronounced Queenieburn.

Red and yellow and pink and green

Bramble leaves showing off their autumn colours. These are probably the most colourful leaves in this country at this time of year.
