365 project, Week 35

[curiouswombat]

It occurred to me this week that it is going to be harder to take pictures on my way home from work, now that the clocks have gone back. It is dusk before 5pm now - so under the cut for this week are

a selection of pictures, mostly not in bright day light!

I came out of the hospital as usual after my clinic last Monday and realised that the clocks having gone back the day before meant that by 5.15pm it was early evening, not late afternoon. The moon was rising over the car park -



Tuesday I also only got the camera out as I finished work - but this time I called into the Garden Centre and discovered that they had skipped Hop-tu-Naa/Halloween and gone straight to Christmas! They always have lovely things for Christmas - this little owl caught my eye -



Wednesday was a bit blowy and I decided to pick those red roses from the front garden before they got blown to pieces. Here are four of them, between two of my small candle holders, on the mantlepiece - they are beautifully scented.



Thursday - I was driving along a small road and was stopped by the ubiquitous traffic lights and road works. But the sign to explain what was going on amused me -



I love the idea of the Water Mains needing Rehab...

Friday evening I again took the picture about 5pm, as I was about to head home from a clinic in Ramsey - this is a real mackerel sky, isn't it? Oh - and look Quinara - sheep...



Yesterday was, of course, Halloween, Hop-tu-Naa, Samhain, whatever you celebrate, and whether you see it as the turning of the year or the point where the wall between the living and the dead is thinner than usual, a night out of the ordinary, anyway. This is a picture of some of our 'night visitors' -



They weren't necessarily, the ones with the best costumes, and they didn't have a lantern between them - but it was the clearest photo!

Today it is raining. It was windy and wet over night, with an onshore wind - so there is a lot of seaweed on the beach - I went for a walk down there on my way home from Church...



And now - I'd better go and out some washing on, and then have a look at the Christmas cakes that are maturing upstairs; see if they need any more rum or whether they are looking and smelling OK, as we are now into November.

PS - for anyone who is, like me, watching the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on TV - aren't the pits weird, but good?
