It is that, Eliza. Foliage is gone and the skies are gray. Thanks!

That’s just the kind of day we had in Austin today after a cold front came through. I even took a few pictures in places that looked like your landscape.

On the other hand, wildflowers of various colors are still blooming here.

We’ll see what the predicted freeze by tomorrow morning does to our lingering wildflowers.

Hope they survive that. No freeze here. Raining and the low will be around 50.

What a temperature inversion: you’ll be 20° warmer up there than we’ll be down here.

This image looks a lot like the morning appeared here. Then the wind showed up… and the cold, this afternoon.

It was cold here but right now we are getting a deluge and it’s warm. Mixed up time of the year. Last year on this date I was photographing ice. Not that I am in a hurry but it looks like a while before it comes again.

Love the angle of that tree – looks as if it’s about to take a dip! 🙂

I imagine given time it will, Ann. Slowly the river is undercutting it.

There’s a very inviting feel to this. It seems to want me to glide into the distance and around the corner, but not in a canoe or even a kayak, but rather in diminutive form and in a folded-paper boat. It recalls memories of how I envisioned the folk in Wind In the Willows.

That would be a fun trip, Gary. Tiny and vulnerable but full of excitement.I’ve driven by this spot a few times on sunny days and the feeling is not at all inviting, at least in my view. Something about the clouds makes it a more intimate experience.

We had that kind of day today. There are times when a gray day can transform an otherwise pedestrian landscape into something more appealing, as it did here.

Thanks, Linda. I do like gray days at times. This morning’s post is another example.

This makes me think of film for some reason. Such calm and quiet – it’s beautiful and it really says late fall- early winter. How nice that the light in the sky was just there at the end of the water! 🙂

I was lucky that I could pull some texture out of the sky in processing. The raw file showed fairly blank sky. I had driven by here several times during summer and was not inspired until this late November day. It always pays to revisit. 🙂
