Thursday 14.11.2019

Early morning perambulation with the dogs to the top of our hill just now and what drama in the skies and the landscape. Snow overnight, not a thick white blanket but enough to give a satisfying crunch underfoot. In places it looked as if the snow had been shaken out across the fields through a large sieve, while the tops of fence posts had carefully sculptured little caps and large lumps had been jammed on the spikes of the gorse.

The rising sun was colouring the snow a pale pink while in the sky opposite a white moon hung above a dark grey cloud. Large columns of smoky cloud swirled away to the north while the next batch of snow looked as if it might be on its way from the south west. The visible sky was a startling blue, the air was crisp and the dogs scampered around like puppies. Not a bad start to the day.
The camera is currently "mislaid" but being without it reminds you that sometimes it`s better simply to enjoy the moment.
