River Dart – more ice (December 2010)

Again I was thinking that the really cold weather was over but today (Christmas Eve) I went over the Dart in Totnes early this morning  and saw some ice again so I headed out a little later to walk the river bank with the camera.

Despite only being around -2 deg [...]

Hoar frost in south Devon

I thought that the really cold weather was maybe over around Totnes by now (22 December 2010) but checking the thermometer this morning it had hit -6 deg C overnight.  The minor road I live on has had little traffic so had some aspects of a skating rink but I’d arranged [...]

Totnes snow (December 2010)

Rather a hasty one but given most of the hits on the blog in the last few days have been “snow” orientated and quite a few have been “Totnes” too here are some shots from the past few days.  The top one is a few days ago on Vire Island.

Frosty morning along the river Dart

Looking out there was quite a noticeable hoarfrost however the sun was coming out so I decided to take a walk to see what was around.  I was not the only one looking around as can be seen above.  The (grey) squirrel seemed to want to play “hide and seek” with [...]

Ash plume sunsets

Most folk are probably aware that the UK and quite a large part of northern Europe are affected by the volcanic dust coming from the Icelandic volcano at present.  This has closed down airspace in the UK and other countries for a couple of days now.  One by product of this is that the [...]

Reflections on reflections

This post does not relate to any specific photo shoot but to the fact that, from time to time, I realise I am paying as much attention to the reflections I see as the conventional view.  The one above brings a little summer to the winter weather.  As with some of the [...]

Two minds with one thought

Rose coloured sky 1

I had a text message from my daughter who lives out of my area the other evening saying there was a lovely rose coloured sky.  I replied that there was here also  and I’d just taken some  photos.
