We had to take Emily to a very early morning television shoot, she was being an extra. It gave us the chance to make the most of Tatton Park and the autumn leaves before the trees are rendered naked by Ophelia. She became unexpectedly very ill and we rushed home and she was admitted to hospital. I had to come home and leave her there.
She phoned all awry and crying this morning and as I rushed to get to her I looked back towards the sea and saw the most amazing misty haze, and it was the calm before the storm, going into town the River Lune was like a looking glass. They have kept her in again and the wind is billowing and blowing.
Calm before the storm
Sea mists rise and hazy hues
Leaves flutter and fall.

I hope Emily’s illness is nothing serious, Alison, and that she gets well soon.
I also hope Ophelia doesn’t do too much damage. Keep safe!

Haziness is beautiful perhaps more so than sharpness though that comparison may not always work. I like your photos especially the black bird looking off to the side.

I think the bird is a Jackdaw, Crows and jackdaws look very similar but I think there is a touch of grey to its head and maybe it is a jackdaw.

Happy to read that Emily is on the mend ~ That calm before the storm is always deceptive ~ Enjoying the autumn scene: autumn leaves before the trees are rendered naked by Ophelia.

Glad to hear Emily is on the mend.
Hope Ophelia did not cause much damage – her tail end visited here last night.

I liked the line- “the river Lune is like a looking glass” that paired with the beautiful but ominously named storm added an extra portion of moodiness to your haibun. Nicely done!

Wow, I loved the real slice of life with a sort of detached view of the world which cares not for our affairs.
