Quote from Denis Johnson, Jesus' Son.

These were taken at Shugborough Estate in October. I loved the way the sunlight played on the raindrops.

I found out about the death of a friend of ours today so I want to dedicate this last photo of the year to Debs. She will be truly missed...

Quote from Oscar Wilde.

Photo for 12th - 18th November. Taken on 13th after a trip to see The Awakening at the cinema. Believe it or not it was taken at 9 o'clock at night and that's the moon not the sun. Gotta love long exposures! :)

P.S. If you follow my sister on Twitter you may remember her rant about me being eaten by a zombie during the zombie apocalypse... This is what I was doing at the time.
