Puddle reflections

It was forecast to be sunny today and although it was dry and bright, the sun never appeared. I enjoyed my walk with Xena this morning, and this puddle was so huge it was good to see the reflections of the autumn colours in it. The autumn colours have not been as good as last year - with the extended warm period into October which delayed the leaves from turning, then the rainy and windy weather which blew the leaves off the trees just as they were starting to display their colours, it has not been the best conditions for the colours. 

I bought a few more Christmas presents online, I have not done my Christmas shopping in person for many years now. Christmas shopping used to be so easy when the boys were little, I had it all done by October - usually Lego or something like that - these days I find it harder!

This afternoon a friend of a friend who was needing some advice on buying a new camera and getting back into photography came around so I could talk cameras with her. I hope I was a help to her, its quite daunting starting out not knowing much.

Tonight I plan to start watching the new series of The Crown.
