Thanks, Scott. I was searching for another November reference when I stumbled across the poem. I’ve come across the latter before but wouldn’t have remembered any of the lines or the author’s name.

The trees are all the same small region of South Manchester. That line of poplars is rather anomalous compared to the rest of the area.

Thanks for the poem,and the poet notification Thomas Hood? Where do you find this stuff John?

Having lived in Key West Florida for 15 years, I now appreciate seasons and Autumn/Fall in particular. I love it when all the grays merge together….

Something unique to Wales and Ireland is drizzle, death by drizzle to be more precise.

Are these tree photos from the continent? too flat and straight by half.

Lovely post.Many thanks.

Thanks folks. In typically changeable British fashion it’s still cold today but bright and sunny with it.

I like snow but we rarely see any which lasts. Too often the end of autumn and beginning of spring blend with winter into a long succession of grey and miserable days. This year we had no summer to speak of; it was cold and rained all the time. Now you see why the weather here is a recurrent topic of conversation!

Gorgeous shots John! As much as I love the temperate climate of Sydney, I kind of wish we had 4 distinct seasons.

Mind you, I’ve never had to shovel snow or try and get to work in sleet… :)

Thanks for putting up these photographs.

November is the time when hints gentle and rough remind us that winter is just around the corner.
