A little bit of snow in Paggers this morning, as seen during my rather challenging run :twisted: Wind, driving sleety snow and slippery paths do not make for ideal running conditions!

This photo has some atmosphere about it and I'm rather pleased at how it came out, given the conditions...

There were thousands of birds twittering in the trees, even spotted a wren, phone is too rubbish to catch them but there was a squirrel on a line of fences, holding some food which it nibbled occasionally then moved further along the fence. I took some photos, stood still to watch it and it came quite close. Photo's were crap, invisible against the background of trees. A little further along, after it had disappeared, there were another dozen or more squirrels, all vanished at the approach of a dog.

The SLR is a bit on the clunky side and the phone useless for so many things - no zoom being the worst.
Considering a Pen-F.

The snooker having finished I can post up my latest celebratory car. I had to expand my normal search area to find a car for 5200 and eventually I found this one from Australia:

A much finer morning for my long run... All yesterdays' horrid weather gone and now quite balmy...

Another atmospheric one :)
