My first proper attempt to get a nice picture with my new crazy-expensive / crazy-complex camera:
I took this first thing this morning, before the rain turned briefly to snow …
Winter so far this year has been “balmy” – two weekends ago it was in the 70s, we drove top down in Margarets convertible and had ice-cream 🙂
But overnight things changed dramatically; this mornings temperature was 7f (which is -14c) – one effect is the sudden freezing over of the pond. Different to previous years, the sudden freeze with no snow means the ice is very clear and the fish can be easily seen moving very slowly under the ice:
In addition to the jigsaw baubles that Margaret got for Christmas, she also got a much bigger globe of the World, made of 560 identically shaped/sized pieces! But with persistence and care, Margaret was able to make the World into one place!
