Weather

This morning : heavy grey skies, cut with thin streaks of blue. The world grey and everywhere running with unexpected streams from a day and night of heavy rain.   I went up the hill through a grey and black landscape, every hollow filled with a puddle reflecting shifting clouds.

...are you sure you're not secretly Sutcliff?

[bunn]

:-D Not very Sutcliff to slip in the mud and fall inelegantly on one's arse. :-p

I did think looking at the edge of the sunset that the sky was that colour she would call green crystal, but I always find that a slightly odd description.

[carmarthen]

Ha, true, but still!

MUD-SEEKING WELLINGTONS!

My wellies could do with better grip really. :-(

Wonderful description. I'm envious of the view.

And I echo Seascribe's comment above about the mud. =D

[bunn]

There I was, wandering along with my nose in the air admiring the view. It was almost inevitable that my unsupervised feet would fail to grip!

[huinare]

I'm sure I would do the exact same thing. I narrowly avoid toppling over fairly frequently because I'm always looking at the sky, trees, horizon, or anything but the ground ahead of me.

Here it was beautiful once the sun came out, and the dogs loved the flood water.

[Especially like your description of Plymouth - wish you'd taken photos!]

[bunn]

I am not sure it would have come out in a photo anyway - one of those situations where you can see everything very clearly, but it was a long way away, and if you took a photo showing the whole landscape, the city would look tiny, but if you zoomed in on the city, it would lose something...

Maybe a video shot, zooming in from far to near might have caught it, if I had a camera that could do that!

Glorious! November, when it's not busy peeing down on you, does stunning things with light and landscape...

[bunn]

It is, admittedly, doing quite a lot of peeing down, but at least it's November, it's kind of expected now. It was so much more annoying in August!

I think Brythen may have worked out that he is waterproof. He went out in the garden this morning for a pee in the rain! :-o
