26 November

On this day in 1864 Lewis Carroll gave Alice Liddell a handwritten copy of 'Alice's Adventures Under Ground'.

A walk around town

I always try to keep a camera in my pocket, even on the shortest walks

November, Impression by William Dean Howells (1837-1920)

A weft of leafless spray

Woven fine against the gray

Of the autumnal day,

And blurred along those ghostly garden tops

Clusters of berries crimson as the drops

That my heart bleeds when I remember

How often in many a far November,

Of childhood and my children's childhood I was glad,

With the wild rapture of the Fall,

Of all the beauty, and of all

The ruin, now so intolerably sad.
