Well we are into November and I thought I would start off with a bang and as we went to our son’s village for the fifth of November ( Guy Fawkes night) celebration that is exactly what happened . The display is getting a really good reputation for being one of the best free shows in the area, they do have buckets for contributions towards next years display and I am sure they raised a good deal of money as there were at least a thousand people attended.

Just a few of the eighty shots I took including the bonfire that started the event and the shot above that showed how fierce it was by the side light on people gathered around me. Unfortunately we did get some rain and though it did not dampen the spirits of people or the fireworks, it did cause a few spots on my lens.
As a point of interest my neighbour across the road is Officer in Charge of our town “on call” firefighters and he was out on a call and to get back to our fire station had to pass through my sons village, though I had this shot on long exposure it gives the impression that it was speeding past the event it wasn’t .

What a beautiful morning to be out on a boat fishing Belston Loch, sun shining and initially hardly a ripple on the water. Fish rising every where, could not wish to be anywhere better on such a cracking day, even the moon was still visible just above the central cloud.
Fished from nine until twelve raised maybe three good sized Rainbow Trout, but never caught any of them. Who cares it was a beautiful Autumn day and I had the Loch to myself and just didn’t have a worry in the world just soak it all in, of course a fish for tea would have been good , but I had an excellent relaxing morning. HONEST.

Spent the morning prepping the kitchen ready to start decorating and though it is a cold ( seven degrees C) afternoon with a brisk North wind we decided to go a small walk around the block. Of course took my camera with me and these were the results.
I love dead weed stems even more when they have snow or frost on, but these were attractive enough to capture.
The sun light on the Pampus Grass in our garden was fun to take as well.
The iron Wren is taking on some wonderful colour as it starts to rust on the fence.
