November Up and Down
Hedge
Walking up in the hedges…
Horse Chestnut ditch
…and down in the ditches…
Viburnum
Amelia can’t decide which she likes better. Up is where the late-blooming flowers are like Ceanothus and Viburnum…
Yew gutter
…but down is interesting too.
Rose Thicket
Both ups and downs are part of life, and from up here in the rose thicket…

Ah yes, ups and downs….a reflective rendering, Amelia.
We had a lovely reflective walk yesterday…we enjoy the exercise and the opportunity to look around and think.
Life is indeed full of it’s ups and downs. Thank you for the contemplative photos and their loveliness.
You are welcome – it is always nice to see what we see when we walk around…and I am glad you could come along!
It is a joy to follow the magical QH ramblings vicariously! Thank you for your generous spirit and skillful photography!
Amelia has a very cute, sweet face. A marvelous carving example! And she is so adventurous too!
Thanks very much, Ann, it was medium hard wood, and quite rewarding to carve – she’s a great favourite already!
This story brings the song” Nothing but a Breeze” by John Denver to my mind.
He sings ♫ I would like to go where the grass is greener, I couldn’t really say where it may be. But some place high on a mountain top, down by the deep blue sea. ♫
I guess lots of us want both worlds. The best of ups and downs.
November has been a month of literal ups and downs here with the Country Hittys but we are now enjoying only the ups! Amelia is lovely as are your photos!!
