Trees and  beyond, number 505

We awoke this morning to yet another bright sunny autumnal day. Amazingly during this Clovis period the weather has simply been glorious. Spring started early with the low and warm sun, then summer was one day after another about coping with this solar beauty; being a little thin on top, sun hats were a must for months on end. It never seemed to end. Summer slowly gave way over weeks to a magnificent autumn; now half way through November the autumnal reds and browns are still with us.

I have friend who lives on his own, a brave young man who finds life difficult. We met in the park this morning, all correct social distancing and masks, we chatted for a while. What a lovely way to spend time, being surrounded by the autumn trees, with good company..

Well Being back in the studio now and on the Hi-Fi I am listening to Songs of the Auvergne by Canteloube. If you don't know of this piece, download it or buy the CD, you will not be disappointed. The above water colour has just been finished. I took a photo at Polsten Lacy just below the Italian bridge the other day and it was screaming to be painted.

Well Liz has just finished her meeting on Zoom, so I will make a picnic and we will get out for a walk. We need to visit the chemists in Horbury, that will be about the right distance to walk, with lots of trees and spaces to enjoy as we by. See you soon.
