Is it really November 21st?
I feel like I just posted about Halloween and next week it will be Thanksgiving.
Today we had blue skies and sunshine until about 3:00 when a noticeable darkness descended in the house. Odd as we aren't expecting rain.
I took a look out my office window and appreciated the sunlight illuminating the trees with that dramatic dark sky in the background.
I love when that happens. November seems to be the month for those lighting conditions.
I feel like if we're paying attention, Mother Nature is putting the spotlight on the beautiful autumn colored trees and, in this case, birdies suggesting we take note of their unique beauty .
Around here we are still awaiting our first significant frost.
We had a light frost this morning, but not enough to cause any damage.
The leaves have begun to flutter off the trees. Although there is still a lot of color to appreciate.
My pansies are happy.
The camellias are blooming beautifully.
Inside the Thanksgiving cactus are just about to bloom.
Since we will be traveling for Thanksgiving, I am hoping that we will be able to see them in full bloom.
How has your November been?
Is it flying at a rapid pace for you too?

ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how fast the days go by. I can't believe we are so close to December, and Christmas! Your pictures are so pretty. I too love when the sun, especially the evening sun lights up the treetops making the colors so vivid. My Thanksgiving cactus is in full bloom now. Hope you get to see yours open before leaving.
ReplyDeleteYour reflections capture the fleeting beauty of November so perfectly—it’s as though nature herself is putting on a show just for those who pause to look. The interplay of light and dark skies is such a magical moment, and your description makes me feel like I’m standing by the window with you. I hope your Thanksgiving cactus times its blooms just right for your return—what a delightful welcome home that would be!
