Autumn behind Brackenrigg

A November morning, the sun breaks over Helvellyn....

....so we nipped up the back to take some piccies! This is the view over Brackenrigg to High Rigg.
....and Tig, posing on "Three Stones", a magical spot with great views of Skiddaw and Blencathra.

Blencanthra looking at its most beautiful!

This is Snipeshow Tarn, just above Brackenrigg. Skiddaw is in the distance.

November

November comes And November goes,

With the last red berries And the first white snows.

With night coming early, And dawn coming late,

And ice in the bucket And frost by the gate.

The fires burn And the kettles sing,

And earth sinks to rest Until next spring.
