This weekend I took a bunch of photos that are quintessential "November" to me. November is that time after the splendor of Autumn is gone and before the wonder of Winter begins. It’s gray, dreary and kind of dead. It’s that ugly time before the snow comes and covers all the brown and kills whatever remains of the green. And I love it.
The color palate in November is limited but still very strong - rich browns, strong reds and a few remaining dark greens. All of which will fade in December then disappear under bright white snow. November is underrated!
This photo is one I took somewhere in my parents’ yard. The red berries are such a great punctuation for the browning ground foliage. Bits of green are still here and there but already pretty frost-bitten. Click on the thumbnail for a bigger, more detailed version. If you want to get up close and personal with these little red berries, the original size is here.
