Excellent! I shall soon try and see if I can get that camera working again. Going on the image quality it'll be worth a bit of work...

Icy! This is a shallow temporary stream that's only really there when the water meadow is in flood, as it currently...

The stream is deep enough and in existence long enough to warrant a little bridge across it...

A happy fisherman, even though the chubb were elusive... Like me, he was just happy to be out in the fresh, winter sunshine :D

That fishing picture brings back some great memories, mostly freezing the brass attachments in winter matches fishing for Kings Langley Anglers but there was always the pub with a log fire to warm up in after the 6 hour match!! I have my own now!! :-D

I always admire the patience and attention span of a coarse fisherman Mick :D I'd last about five minutes tops and be looking for something active to do :twisted:

Sea fishing off a beach is a different matter; that's full of activity, constant change and energy. I once used to hugely enjoy that but haven't for years now and very unlikely to do so again due to the general unavailability of suitable beaches in the middle of the UK :( And no longer having any kit!

I ended up having a good natter with the fisherman in the picture...

That fire looks inviting :D

A very cold run this morning to keep my RED January (Run Every Day in January) challenge going 🏃???

Allegedly, it was -6 degrees out there 🥶🫢

Appropriately, I saw a big deep-red moon over Bury Field Common 😊

It's not come out very well in the picture although it looked absolutely awesome 😎 I'm sure my proper grown-up camera would have done better but I really can't run with it :twisted:

Although it looks like this was taken in the late afternoon, it was actually at 10.30 this morning. A heavy mist on the low ground.

Yes, very little light this morning even though it looked fairly bright... But then eyes are very good at compensating...

Enjoying your photos Bobins :D
