A Pleasing Melancholy


The Savill Garden in November


shades of ochre, umber and siena


smell of damp grass


red leaves underfoot


still dank air


muffled sound of rooks


new coat and warm boots


thoughts of buttered crumpets


brief moments of brilliance

  3. You have captured the dreariness of November beautifully - I especially like the reflections in the water. I have dreams of buttered crumpets too.

  4. We haven't had too much of the dank and dreary so far, justone or two days, mostly it has been bright and sunny.

    1. I feel that I can confidently predict that Dank and Dreary is in your immediate future.
