Last part of the day

 

 

As usual I missed the sunset

Not that it had been much of a day with the clouds

Looking west it was still grey

 

But the setting sun brightened some of it up

Twas a cold and frosty night

 

Well frosty, it was -6.9c in the morning when I got up, warm by the standards of a friend in Canada. After a few days of sub zero temperatures here I thought I should get out my camera and macro lens and get a few frosty plants.

Look out the window of the kitchen in the morning and you will see a blackbird sat there fluffed up just waiting for me to go out feed them sultanas 

Frosty rose leaf on the patio fence

 

Rose hip looking cold

 

 Frosty one

Spiders webs make great subjects

Covered in frost you wonder what happened to the maker

They were everywhere

Frosty rose branch

Hip covered in frost

This plant took on a whole new color

Did the flowers survive

The magnolia bud looked like it was going to open

The pond was frozen over

Take care

Review 2024 Pt2

 

This week the Church Explorer revisited the churches from the second half of 2024 

December sunrise

 

 The beginning of December my wife & I went off early to do some shopping, the sun was coming up so as I was a passenger I took a couple of shots out of the window at the junction. It called five ways because there is another road beside the one we are on and another opposite us so you have to look at  four other directions to make sure it is clear

The telephone pole was in the way

 So I took a second shot as we moved

My phone has an adobe express app I use and found out I could use AI to remove objects, so after using no pole

The first photo I took I used it on and it removed it perfect. 

Happy SkyWatch

Church Explorer 2024 review

 

This week the Church Explorer  reviews the churches he visited in first half of 2024 with the second half next week

Glorious Sunrise

 

Happy New Year  to everyone I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are now ready for more SkyWatch photos. For me November brings some of the best sunrises you can see and I was lucky to notice this one through the shutters of the bedroom.

 

But I poked my head out of the bathroom window to get this one of the glowing sky

 

It just got better when I zoomed in a little

 

By the time I went outside the sky was turning pink

Happy SkyWatch

Merry Christmas

 

 Merry Christmas everyone 

 

St Peter Alvescot
