Here are my 4 entries for the November round of #FSPrintMonday. We've had some lovely early-morning lighting over the last month, so the shots here reflect that. See alt-text for more info.

A wall of autunal trees. There was a light mist lifting as the sun slowly rose, bathing this scene in soft pastel light. Sunrise and a little bit of mist rising off the ground, as this lone naked tree stood on the edge of a field. One of those magical periods when the rain comes intermittently, but so does the sunshine. The result is, of course, a rainbow. Here, it sits over a forest, along with some lovely light on the autumnal trees. Early morning and as the light appeared so did the realisation of the first snow of the season on the hills in the background. Meanwhile, the rising late-autumn sun bathed the foregound in lovely golden hues.

Sunrise, lingering mist and a smattering of snow on the tops: my #Sharemondays2025 entry for this week.

'Isolated from the gang' - a lone tree catching the light yesterday in Borrowdale.

For #Sharemondays2025 this week - a brief glimpse of the mountains (Crinkle Crags in the Lake District) on Saturday, on what was otherwise a very murky day.

I'm being a bit indecisive, but have finally decided to go for this early morning just-after-sunrise shot for #Sharemondays2025 this week.

I'm re-posting this autumnal scene of a little Lake District river for #Sharemondays2025 this week.

I spotted this patchwork of autumn's colour palette high on a hillside. I couldn't get over the variety of colour in one small scene.

Here are my 4 entries for the October round of #FSPrintMonday. A mountain, two woodland scenes and a swirling river. 3 from the Lakes and 1 from the Malverns. See ALT text for more details.

Scafell poking through the clouds, with Cam Spout Crag sitting beneath (Lake District). A splash of vibrant, autumnal yellow in a forest in the Malvern Hills. A single yellow-leaved tree, while all those around it are still in their coats of green (Lake District). A swirling river in the Lake District winds its way amongst rocks and autumnal trees.
