Month: February 2015

here’s one I took earlier

Yesterday it was dew covered daffodils all day and pastel skies by evening, I thought it must be spring. Today has been dull, cold and wet all day; and now there is a blustery wind whistling through out there. So tucked away indoors I thought I would look at the very first picture or two I took this time last year, with the brand new toy I had just bought; the Nikon P520 (then the last photo ~ in yellow ~ from this morning when the wind wasn’t blowing so much)

There had been a warning ! Birds had been taking flight in droves in front of the breeze. And this little fella had been singing over the way for quarter of an hour before he flew off in the same direction….
