I returned, after several months, to Missing Melody, last evening…

… the place was even more beautiful, but darkly so, now…

… but dark in a hauntingly lovely way. There are lots of animals here, and several gorgeous little tableau, like a baby fox cautiously sniffing at a sleeping bambi, a bambi cautiously looking at a sleeping fox, this one of an adult deer nuzzling a fawn, and several others, they are all delightful, and make the leaning toward darkness a cosy leaning, rather than a melancholy one…

… the autumn colours are glorious…

… here, a mother bear has caught a fish for her cub…

… there are areas where it is constantly raining and lightning flashes…

… like I said, kinda dark, but not maudlin…

… above everything is this wonderfully brooding sky.
