266 - It's not only the leaves which are wet. Two nights of heavy rain, and more rain through the day today means many local gardens are waterlogged, the river is rising and a few streets are seeing flood water begin to appear.
I was reluctant to go out very far in such poor conditions, so this shot was taken from my front door, looking at the border beside the lawn. Not the most exciting shot I've taken, but I hope it conveys the unpleasant conditions.
You've captured the conditions perfectly. It is difficult to be motivated when the weather is like that. Not much sunshine this side of the world either.
Thank you Brian, it reflects the season and the recent heavy rain! - much more rain and there won't be need for the garden rake, they will just be washed away!
Thank you Stirling - you're quite right, we're all encouraged to try something new on this project. It really is good for us, and it's great to learn from each other!
Thank you Marie, drier and colder weather promised for later in the week, but before then floods! We are fortunately relatively safe from that where we live.
Thank you William - the river is rising as I write and is expected to peak overnight, so this will be the third set of floods in York this year (and all faithfully recorded on 365!)
Thank you Junan, I thought this was a nice contrast to the earlier crisp clean leaves!
Thank you Debra - we had a small moat at the front of the house when we woke up in the morning as well!
Thank you Pyrrhula, there seems to be water everywhere. Much of the farmland around York is waterlogged as well.
Thank you Tony - it's supposed to be drier (and colder) later in the week.
Thank you Ladyjane - I thought this would make quite a contrast with the earlier crisp clean dry leaves!
Thank you Bob, glad you like it!
Thank you Bob - we are promised drier and colder weather later in the week!
Thank you Dar - I liked the idea of a slightly negative autumn shot!
Thank you Tanja, the worst of the rain is over, but it will be floods next!

Thank you Kd - it has rained a lot, but we are promised it will be dry for the rest of the week!
Thank you Roslyn - but I find it sad to see lovely crisp leaves being reduced to pulp.
