A final image of the wildlife pond below the quarry from of the final walks of November – at this time of the year I need to save photos for future use as fill on those short days and long nights. Bulrushes grow in profusion around the edge of the pond and in the marshy area around it, and by this time of the year many have split to reveal downy seeds released into the wind, blowing along the valley like a gentle fall of snow.
