November The Quiet Time Begins

 

November is a time of quandary: shorts or parka, boots or flip flops, flannel sheets or percale, soup or salad,  AC or heater.. I don't really mind, just the ambivalently stacked piles of summer clothes can look a bit messy. 

This week I promised a beach walk! These photos were taken late October into November. My planned Saturday walk was cancelled due to tornado warnings! Missed us, but the gale warnings remain with 30-40 mph winds, so Mo and I are staying mostly indoors. Chilly too, but warm by Wednesday. I must dig out my amaryllis and elephant ears, harvest final seed heads.

But for now, lets take a walk and look for Fall, for the lovely quietude of coastal November.

Too late to gather goldenrod for drying. Next year!

Faux dunes created after H Sandy. Eight years later, they have become mostly incorporated with the natural dunes. But on the edges the ''hair replacement plug" grasses still are visibly spaced by human hands, looking odd and solitary.

                                                           Don' wanna, mommy. Sand hurts my eyes!

Have a great week!
