So far 2023 has been very wet. Lots of rain and mild temperatures. I know lots of people prefer this to colder temperatures and snow but I am not one of them. Give me a day with big fluffy snow flakes and brisk temperatures in January. Come March I will start to look forward to the weather we have now but give me some winter first.

As the winds start to whip up and the evening rain comes down, more and more of the leaves are falling. On my walk I’m confronted with carpets of colourful leaves on the road.

According to Wikipedia Citrus Sinensis is as follows: Citrus × sinensis (sometimes written Citrus sinensis), also known as the sweet oranges, is a commonly cultivated family of oranges that includes blood oranges and navel oranges.[1]
I was sure I was looking for a lemony yellow colour but it turns out it’s more orange and can include blood orange.
