Day 136

We went to the RHS garden at Harlow Carr this afternoon. It was gloomy and damp, but that made it wonderfully atmospheric in the arboretum. I photographed lots of little autumnal still-lifes on the forest floor.




Cyclamen peeking through the fallen leaves.




A twig bridge over the moss.




Raindrops on an oak leaf.




Mossy tree trunk with leaves.




And another one.




An oak tree silhouetted against a gloomy sky.




And then we went through the gardens and found some lingering flowers. I love this luscious blue - no Photoshopping required.




An autumn crocus - the angle on this was a bit of an accident, courtesy of a stray breeze, but I like it.




A little snail found a home in this flower.




I really, really love this one for some reason.

"Thursday. A heavy, gloomy and depressing Thursday, pouring down uninteresting rain from a sky like a grey box-lid."

- Dorothy L. Sayers, Gaudy Night

"'This must be Thursday,' said Arthur musing to himself, sinking low over his beer, 'I never could get the hang of Thursdays.'"

- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
