Picture(s) of the day....

My run on this gorgeously cold, crisp, clear and frosty morning Quite pleased at how this snap came out... As I ran past it I thought it looked quite interesting with the bright forecourt lighting contrasting strongly with the dark night sky...

My artistic side desperately trying to exert itself

Almost Hopper-esque Jim I very much like that genre of image. One of his quotes "More of me comes out when I improvise." Keep exerting your artistic side Jim!

Thanks I will do my best Neil, I always have my eyes open for something suitable for POTD whenever I'm out and about

You see what an effect this forum and POTD in particular has on me!!!

I like Hopper's work

You would need your spiked shoes to run here this morning Jim, a couple of inches of snow.

Perfect chance to get out with the camera and revive your "Snow Good" thread

I don't think I'll be working on the front drive today.

Snow was forecast for us last night - or this morning - or tomorrow - or sometime this winter, haven't seen any yet.

Wildlife club Picture of the Day

Simon King was giving Ellie Harrison a few tips on wildlife photography on Countryfile. I thought I'll give that a try.
For once he ditched his huge lens so often used for those amazing wildlife close ups, and got out a phone camera.

They took a few photos of "ordinary" used-to-people birds/squirrels in a Bristol park by literally getting down to their level, camera on the ground, and took some interesting images with the pigeons/jackdaws/ squirrels etc approaching right up to the camera. They did tempt them with some treats.

Well I missed the treats bit (yes that was the major mistake), but saw a group of fairly approachable ducks on the river, used to being fed by all and sundry at that spot, but they didn't come close enough

duck level camera

Milton Keynes mud It's made of finest Oxford Clay and when wet has a coefficient of friction several orders of magnitude less than PTFE!
