Decorative woodsy background

November 2019

Your November photos showed people (and Josh the dog) outside, enjoying the late autumn landscape. Ice and water featured prominently, as did the bright red berries of hawthorn, winterberry and mountain ash. A red fox sparrow posed on the snow, and a buck encountered a small, stony stranger. Check out Tami Gingrich’s evocative photo of a road through a snowy woods – a preview of the season to come.
