It is marraskuu, the Dead Month. Only little demons love this month.
Deimos: We still have leaves on the ground - but they are wet and rotting. No fun to play in.
Deimos: All snow has not melted but it is quite wet.
Deimos: This fern is called "dead man's hand" - even when it is not as dead as now.
Deimos: Wet snow everywhere...
Deimos: More wet snow and dead ferns.
Deimos: Of course the evergreen trees are still green.
Deimos: Lingonberries are evergreen, too.
Deimos: The track is getting a bit too slippery for jogging. Maybe they can lay the ski tracks here soon...
Deimos: Not everything is frozen. Running water freezes slower than stagnant water. This ditch smells quite rotten, though, the bottom is covered with mud and rotting leaves.
Deimos: The fireweed are getting quite limp and wet and rotten.
Deimos: You can still find some color if you find a mountain ash!
Deimos: The big lake is not frozen yet, but the pools above the water level are frozen - though quite thinly.
Deimos: The lake and sky and the rocks are all gray. And so is the horizon, it is barely discernible as a gray line between water and sky.
Deimos: A lichen covered birch. The lichen feels wet. too.
Deimos: The bear moss looks like little stars. Mosses are evergreen, too.
Deimos: The forest is still green, but it is the deep green of spruces and pines.
Deimos: Hey, this is no longer fun, it is starting to rain, lets go home!
Deimos: I said this is not fun any more. The moss is wet, the leaves are wet and it is raining! I want to go home! NOW!

I think it is kind of pretty in a desolate way. But I've always liked evergreen trees, so that helps!
