Heading for the light.

I was really pleased with the synergy of plane, contrail and sun just in the corner.

#sky #weather
A grey sky, darker at the bottom. In the top right corner there is sunlight shining in. In the centre is a slash of contrail with a plane heading for the light.

Early spring reflections.

An upside-down reflection of metal railings in front of some trees with the sun shining behind the clouds in the centre.

Very strange cloud/shadow effect earlier, we're not sure what it is. Could it be the shadow of the contrail on higher up clouds?!

#weather #sky
Tree silhouettes at bottom and side. Mainly of a grey sky with part of the sun glaring at the top. There is a faint white contrail visible stretching up towards the sun. To the left of it is a darker grey long shadow or cloud almost parallel to the contrail.

I've recently been playing Starstruck Vagabond, oh dear what a time sink! Suits me nicely right now, it's been on my wishlist a while - a cosy space exploration game.
I just found the very cute Nyuffles only to have other slabs whisk them away.
The hunt is on!

Best shots I got of tonight's lunar eclipse. Was surprised to see it, it's been raining and battling during the day.

#eclipse #sky
A red full moon with a few stars. A red full moon with moon texture visible. Silhouette of a fir tree on the right with one branch almost touching a red full moon. There are stars sprinkled about.

This dog, he's just too cute.

#goldendoodle #rescuedogs
A white dog lying on the grass looking at the camera. In between his front legs is a dark blue water bottle. The same white dog is again looking at the camera, he has a red tartan bow tie on his collar. He appears to be vertical with his front legs resting on something under the camera. Behind him are bookshelves.

I'm sorry, but I have to share another dog pic. Munro's old bow tie was falling apart and he does love to go vertical.
Our lovely boy 😍

#goldendoodle #rescuedog
A large white dog looking at the camera. He has both front paws up resting on something and is wearing a red tartan bow tie. There are books on shelves in the background.

I'm reading Richard Osman as a book and Kristine Kathryn Rusch in kindle form.
Purple bordered book cover. Richard Osman in black at the top and The Last 'Devil' To Die angling down underneath in red and black. There's a crouching fox drawn looking at the word Die. A dark blue bordered book cover. The winning is in a mustard yellow on a white background. At the top is the author's name, at the bottom the book title, Ten Little Fen. In the centre is a large magnifying glass with woman in a black off the shoulder dress, wearing a very wide brimmed black hat covering most of her face.

20 seconds of peacefully falling snow.

I love weather. And seasons.
We've been having cold nights leading to some thick ice in various containers outside.
Beautiful patterns, like flowers formed.
Ice patterns, shaped like flowers and bubbles, against a maroon back background. Another close up of ice patterns with a stick embedded.

Munro posed so nicely, no. 1 son thought he liked ready for his first day at school!
A close up of a dog, a golden doodle, sitting at the top of the stairs. He is cream coloured with somewhat curly soft fur and is holding a large, plush, multi-coloured ball in his mouth, looking at the camera.

#NoMansSky
Omg the Worlds 2 update is awesome. And I've only really seen some of the new depths. So beautiful at night now! I actually spent ages swimming about with my mouth open. Luckily my real mouth not my in game one, else I'd have downed!
Can't wait for #LightNoFire
Dark green/blue background. There are greenish streaks of light on the left, then rainbow lights swirling, then purple and blue nebula-like clouds, and some yellowish green weed growing from the bottom. Dark purple background. There are some yellow dappled curly plants in the background and two rainbow light swirls in the centre with a purple light emanating from them.

The rain is back with the promise of a sight of snow in the next few days. 🤞
A tree with shrivelled red leaves against a grey, misty background. The top third of the picture is an out of focus rod edge with rain drops suspended from it. The same tree but it's filling the frame as one looks up at it and the leaves look a rusty red. Behind it on either side are tall conifers shrouded in mist.

Is it just me that sees this and thinks, What?! Rabbits don't live for 120 years!

And then realises that's not what's meant 🤦‍♀️

Blue sky earlier but still cold.
Now snuggled in bed, dog keeping me company, listening to the wind in the trees and wind chimes.

In case anyone needs some soulful eyes this Sunday.
Dog love is good for the soul.
A white dog with it's head looking large at the front of the picture, looking up with brown, loving eyes. You can tell his tail was wagging because it's a little blurred.

We can actually see the night sky tonight! The moon was rising but the stars were still bright.
And there's Orion.
Tree silhouettes in the bottom half but mainly the picture is of the night sky with stars dotted around. In the centre is the Orion constellation.

I love foggy weather.
I missed the mist when we lived in SE Pennsylvania for 4 years. Not a problem here in the PNW!
Foggy background, can just make out tall conifers. Clear against the background are a few twigs with 3 wrinkled, rusty red leaves drooping from them. There are also a few raindrops hanging from the twigs.

What have we stumbled upon in the woods?
Some kind of magical spell being cast, a faerie glen, or witch's den?
Portrait style photo, taken around dusk. You can make out some grass leading to a pair of tree trunks silhouetted against a yellowish light blooming behind them. There is a small structure in the gloom on the right. Darkening sky is visible through the pine branches towards the top of the photo.

This year's number one son's birthday cake. He likes the same kind of cake each year (cinnamon & Nutella) but it's a different design, and often shape too, each time.
Luckily I had just the right addition to make it look seasonal as well!
Looking down onto a circular brown cake on a dark blue plate. There are crushed hazelnuts on the top. Most of the top of the cake is covered in green frosting in the shape of an English oak leaf. There are white sprinkles in the shape of snowflakes scattered over the top.

The aliens have landed!
Portrait photo taken in the dark. A tall conifer is silhouetted against the night sky with a number of shorter trees. The bottoms of the tree trunks are silhouetted against a bright light/s shining through the mist.

An abandoned feel to this pic.
Black and white portrait photo. A winter tree is on the right with it's bare branches reaching up to the pale sky. A tyre swing hangs from a branch over a leaf-covered ground. Misty conifers in the background.

I do love a foggy day.
And pretty much any moonlit night.
#atmosphere
A tree with shriveled dark red leaves silhouetted against a foggy background. There are tall, dark trees further back in the fog on either side. The moon is central in a misty sky in the background of this portrait photo. Tall conifers are silhouetted against the night sky with bare branches of another tree reaching towards the moon from the right.

Looking up on a lovely damp, murky day.
Black and white photo looking straight up at tall conifers whose tops didn't quite meet, leaving a circular light area which is fading into the mist. There are the bare branches of another tree coming in on the right looking almost superimposed.
