November 2019 Photo Treasure Hunt


It will teach me not to leave finding photographs to fit the titles till the last minute - my computer wont let me access my stored photographs.  No idea why.  So what you are seeing are odd pictures I put on my blog page earlier in the month.  I normally do this then delete the ones I don't want and put in the description.
So please forgive my limited entries this month.


Seasonal  View


Autumn colours in the grounds of Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire.




Oops

A few years ago we awoke one morning to loud knocking on our  front door  after a very windy night. It was our son.  He had taken his dogs out early and seen  glass on the ground glinting in the sunshine. Not only were many panes of glass shattered but all the bubble wrap I always line the greenhouse with to help keep it warm was all ripped and everything blown over.  We do live in a very windy area so we replaced the glass with PVC panels which still blow out, but don't break.


Sea Shore

A view across the deserted beach on the far side of Lindisfarne or Holy Island in Northumberland.






Striped


What has more stripes than a couple of zebras?  I love the way the little foal is almost camouflaged
standing beside her mother.





My own choice


Our grand dog Roxy doing what she loves - lying in the snow.  This was taken some years ago, now she is a rather rheumatic old lady who survived a major illness,



Well that's all I can manage this month.  I will have to sort out my computer problem - well at least try.  Now to see what everyone else has done. 

As this is our last photo hunt for the year I would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and the best for the New Year.

    1. Yes that was a very windy year. Smashed quite a few panes of glass and the door. Yes a lovely picture of poor old Roxy who is now no longer with us as you know. ❤

  2. I love the seashore photo and the gorgeous colours of the seasonal view but my favourite just has to be Roxy with the snow on her nose :-)

    1. Yes, we all loved Roxy. Sadly two days after publishing this post poor old Roxy was put to sleep. All we have now are happy memories of a loyal friend. :-(

  3. Great stuff! You found photos for this month! I can't decide if my favourite is seasonal or seashore so I'll say both of them! Your greenhouse looks a fair mess.

  5. Pity about your photo mishap which is an Oops moment all by itself. Love your autumn colours at Bolton Abbey & the one of Roxy in the snow. I'll be in touch before Xmas. Take care & huggles.

  6. Sorry to hear you are having computer woes, hope you manage to get them sorted soon. I love the Zebra photo, I have never seen one in the flesh and would love to particularly in the wild. I also love the seashore, Northumberland is a beautiful county and the beaches are always empty - when I visit anyway.

  7. All lovely photos, except for you oops! At least you went to pvc panels, I'm sure that's much easier to fix!
    Awe, Roxy looks adorable.
