After so much praise Winter should say good-bye and let Spring have her say.

In Search of Colour in Late Autumn

It is not always easy to find a splash of colour in the late autumnal landscape in the greyness of a November day. Today I focus on two flowers that managed to show their vivid colour literally at winter’s doorsteps. I found the candle-like lamb’s ear at the edge of a forest and the hardy and invasive species of a knapweed flower. Always attracting our attention are the omnipresent rose hips in our area. The red berries of the mountain ash, a favourite food item among migratory birds, and many other colourful fruits are brightening up the otherwise gloomy scene. I hope that the images will bring some cheer into your life at the beginning of the Advent season.

Rose hips and snowberries go together well with the green of the fir tree.

A splash of dark red is always welcome in a world turning grey.
