A BLUR BECOMES A SNOWFLAKE

"Eddie, what are those smudges on the window, love?"

"Oh! hang on a minute I'll have to refocus - ah you mean these, Mrs Bluelights?"

"Zoom in Eddie, quick and let's have a closer look!"

"Ok! Get a load of this!"

It's remarkable how that refocusing made this shot possible.

Let's zoom in again!

Isn't nature (for want of a better word) wonderful?

Again!

While I was out looking for The Abominable Snowman, terrorising Bristol recently, see HERE, I got some shots of the garden with a carpet of snow - quite rare for us in the UK, so I made the most of it, aided by my walking stick of course to prevent me from slipping 'base over apex'.


Ah yes - there is the swing I made a long time ago for the kids with all the paths and walls and pergolas I built, plus of course the bird houses - see my earlier post HERE , He Flew The Nest Too Soon.

No signs of the Bluetits yet, but I saw a couple of Great Tits, their larger cousins, looking at properties the other day - they rather fancied this semi detached residence - they thought it was really cool! brrrr!

"Careful with that hip up climbing the steps you built, Eddie."


"Never seen the Dogwood looking quite like this."

"The Magnolia tree looks a bit cold."

"So does the Hydrangea."

"Come on, let's go in the house and I'll make you a cup of coffee, but close the gate - after all we've got to keep that Big Foot out, haven't we?"

I've very busy with domestic tasks and year end accountsof late, so unfortunately I have not been as active as I would have liked in BlogLand - my apologies.

But please do not forget to visit for David McMahon's Sunday Roast Special on January 23rd.
