This was the end of November...

...it was foggy, sunny, both, and warmer than the usual last-day-of-November!
One of the neighbors' trees is covered in bright, red berries. And the dew was heavy!

Another view, going up towards the ridge...
The last of the tansy, and some cider apples in a few rows that haven't been picked yet. We've not had a heavy frost, and that may be what they are waiting for? And the goats were out in the front pasture again!
Some pea family plants are finishing up, and the grapevines were bare and wet.


More views along the ridge:
The last of the roses are still blooming...
Coming down the ridge is the pear orchard...
More flowers, hanging on as long as the weather is mild. And the hazelnuts are starting to pollinate.
Next stretch of road is an out-and-back -- I was getting the last of the flowers, plus pictures of the field of geese near 'my' school. There must have been close to 1000 of them -- connecting groups and lines of geese going allllll the way across the field. And more flying in to join them!

Back at the geese, my camera was telling me the battery was giving up, so the rest of the run is without pics. A good run - and unseemingly warm for the last day of November!
