NOVEMBER..

 

 

If someone should ask me ' what is you're favorite month' , than november is not the one that
pops into my mind at once. I like spring most of all, but I have to say, that november has also
some great moments, when there is a storm ( and the roof keeps it tiles on place!), we can have
some great colored skies if it isn't raining whole day long and you have to keep the lights on
the moment you came out of bed and get the feeling that it maybe was better if you stayed
there.
Thank god I have growlights now, I'm very happy, so the plants won't suffer as much as usual
with the big lack of light during these wintermonths.
I want to upload some november pictures, that I made this year and the two  years before.
They are almost all shot at this island ( Schouwen- Duiveland) and in the garden or the house.

 

Our two guinea fowls ( parelhoenders in Dutch) like to look inside the house, tapping on the windows,
I suspect that they want to eat the Hoya's ?

Nothing left for this little guy, probably killed by a cat..

I took the next 3 pictures on ' Neeltje Jans', an artificial island in the Oosterschelde, made to facilitate
the construction of the Oosterscheldekering (Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier), I spend a whole lot of time there in my youth, when my parents had a sailboat.

Well, those pictures are colorful, but most of the time november feels like this to me:

"No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds -
November!"
