getting colder

Out first thing again - but there was a marked change in the air today - the cold temperatures and strong winds overnight had started to make the first leaves fall - can summer really be coming to an end this early?

Up on the tops the wind was still making itself felt - we were both glad of the extra layers we'd thrown into the car - the pooch being a Siberian Husky was loving it - she doesn't really like the sun much - but if it turn colder then she'll start to get more & more energetic - so at least she'll be keen to drag us out.

Walking up to the high fell gate the distant Howgills were looking fantastic with the fast moving clouds casting strong shadows in the bright morning light - it's a view I see most everyday I'm in the UK - I consider myself very lucky that its a view that can (& does) still take my breath away.
