It’s been something of a frantic November, so far, with the excitement / stress of packing all the boxes in time for the builders to arrive. But yesterday I managed to grab a few minutes to go out into the garden for my November moodboard photos.
It was a gloriously sunny Autumn day, here in London, so I took my white card outside and photographed these leaves and berries in the dappled sunlight. Such autumnal colours!
The acer has changed leaf colour even since I photographed it last week, its stems and the tips of its leaves a really bright red now. I adore this lovely plant.
The rosehips are from the front garden, from next door’s rose that I constantly claim as my own. I’m not sure how good they’d be cooked, since they’re not a dog rose or a rosa rugosa, which I have read taste the nicest, but I’m tempted to make some up into some cordial just to try it out…
The beautiful pink-tinged leaves are from one of my much-maligned azaleas. We removed 10 and still have about four dotted around the place. I’ve got no idea whether the ones that are left in the beds are the nicer ones, or not, so it’ll be interesting to what flower colours we have next Summer. The leaves, unquestionably, are stunning at this time of year.
Then, I was scratching around searching and searching for something else attractive to photograph, when I wandered into the greenhouse and discovered, rather to my surprise, that there were still tomatoes on my tomato plants. These are seriously over-ripe and past eating, but goodness they have gone a fabulous red colour…
Finally, a couple of “behind the scenes” photos for you. This was my little set up, with the kitchen chair dragged out onto the lawn, to get my photos this month. I thought the whole thing looked rather bucolic:
And this next one isn’t “behind the scenes” so much as “opposite the scenes” — a view of the trees in the street opposite where I live. They change colours for the Autumn in the most wonderful way, starting at the top and then spreading down towards the trunk. If I draw the curtains in the morning, I can see them from my bed, which is always a cheering start to the day if the sun is out.

I love the idea of making a garden moodboard 🙂 I’m adding an Acer to my garden wishlist because of the colour, there aren’t many plants like it. Those ‘traffic light’ trees are great!
They are great, aren’t they? And weirdly, the day after blogging about them, I learnt what they were in my horticulture course: Liquidambar styraciflua. Definitely more of a mouthful than “traffic light tree”!
Love the light in the photos! Holding someones hand seems to be really nice in this month. Hope your building project turn out ok. /Malin
Useful information. Lucky me I found your website
unintentionally, and I am surprised why this twist of fate did
not came about earlier! I bookmarked it.
I am not sure where you’re getting your information, but
great topic. I needs to spend some time learning much more or understanding more.
Thanks for magnificent information I was looking
for this information for my mission.
He always wears his awesome hat, which is something of a cross between a skull and Laplander-style,
with what looks like some sort of small animal
ears on the top. If you can find out any lacy clothing or anything with frills, bows
or feathers, then you’re well on your way to getting the basics sorted.
Leg Avenue costumes can be perfect if you are looking for a little bit of bedroom
role play or a sexy Halloween costume. Troll fancy dress outfits center on on the unusual hairstyle which generally means that
for many people a wig will be required.
Greate article. Keep posting such kind of info on your blog.
Im really impressed by it.
Hi there, You’ve performed a great job. I will definitely digg it and
in my opinion recommend to my friends. I’m sure they’ll be benefited from
this web site.
