Last four of November

This time, finally, my last photo above and the three penultimate ones of the past month come with zero drama attached. Plus there is a story. But… what is that in the middle of the field? A huge loose Maremma shepherd getting ready to attack? No, no, just a girl dog neighbour who doesn’t dare
