I love how November hit!
When I woke this morning and saw what weather we were in for this morning, I thought I can’t do two “out & about” free days in a row! I needed to be out there no matter what, so I went, up to Nose Hill, an easy short drive. I drove through very dense fog and began ascending The Hill in fog. It was like entering into an abyss!
Everything was covered in a layer of hoar frost which is normally white but this morning it had a golden glow. The sky above was clear and blue yet at eye level I could barely see what was in front of me. October is over as is Hallowe'en but the spookiness stuck around and drew me into November's atmospheric eeriness!
The sun was fully up!
I continued to ascend and eventually hiked up out of the fog
to a clearer view where everything was white.
a layer of frost on the steel crocus markers
hoar frost on every blade of grass and twig
it even began to form on the ends of my hair
a very thick layer of frost lay on every leaf
on the top of Nose Hill where it is flat and wide open
silence was golden this morning
the far off sounds were drowned in the fog down below
A couple of hours after exiting the abyss then enjoying the blue, the white, the frost and the fresh air, it was time to hit the trail back down. The fog had not lifted, it continued to shroud the lower laying land. Back into the abyss I go!

The trail to ______!
This was quite the introduction to November and I was so thankful to have accepted the invitation and did not RSVP with a negative response. The atmospheric look gave The Hill a little bit more of a wild feel. I got my fill of what I went in search off!
