Intermission 25f

Well this year has seen the warmest summer on record and for that matter an unprecedented period of dry weather.

Sunsets though have been a bit of a miss as have cloudscapes – all that blue sky means you can’t have everything.

Morning sunrise
Evening sunset
There have been bumper rain clouds
And bumper apple crops
A Golden Autumn beckons
Maybe a few more sunsets will roll along
A trip to the coast yielded some interesting rockpool life
Plenty of grasshoppers this year
The sun sets on this post.

This Winter was wet and is now dry – it has been sometimes cold but the overwhelming feeling is it is another mild winter – famous last words, as Spring is not yet with us and it can still snow and freeze well into April………

Sunrise-Sunset

2023 like 2022 seems to have been richer for its sunrise and sunsets.

Frosty Morning – I found this particular sunrise “developed” an interesting image on my window.

A lucky break to see a superb bird like a Sparrowhawk only a few feet away sat on a branch preening itself………

This time of year the lichen takes on fantastic colour
and there are signs of new life – catkins abound on this hazel
and for a short while ice crystals create their own designs
the shapes are amazing
Then the frost, mist and sunrise give a satisfying hue
sometimes with multiple frosts you get even more variety
and then there are sunrises to match any summer sunset
enjoy the tailfeather geometry

goodbye small but deadly sparrowhawk. Enjoy what nature can offer this time of year.
