20/01/2021 Not really much going on!!!

 Maximum temperature here today 10⁰C, minimum 4⁰C.  Dry.  27km/h South-Westerly winds with gusts up to 58 km/h.   90% chance of rain forecast for the rest of the week and possible storms tonight.  

Not much chance of walking for a few days.  Yesterday we had blue skies and 10⁰C,  I walked a new route.  I somewhat misjudged it and ended up walking 14.25 kms!!!  I stretched well on my return and felt fine afterwards!

Crepuscular rays seen on a walk earlier this month.

Just looking across the fields.

Looking down at our local village.  The tall square building, left central is the bell tower of the church.

Those of you that saw my photo of the nene (Branta sandvicensis), also known as Hawaiian goose just before Christmas, will know I was worried that they would not be around after Christmas. You will be pleased to know that they are still about!

Still around despite the frosts Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare).

Turkey tail mushroom (Trametes versicolor).

Morning frosts.

Seen out walking, think this may be a Falabella, it is as broad as it is high, but so cute.

Next door - Spring is in the air...




Fungus - possibly panellus stipticus.


I just liked this photo of the view with the gorse in the foreground.


Take care everybody, keep well and stay safe.

Too dark to paint today so here is another catch-up post.  Photos taken over several days when there was a glimmer of sun between rain!

I managed to cut the lawn at the weekend but it was quite wet...

as above.

Love in the mist, and with what I believe to be a fly or bee of some kind covered in pollen

Rosebud with an Oxythyrea funesta chomping away on the petals! Note the small fly on the top of the petal on the right.

Bee Beetle (Trichius fasciatus)  on the cotoneaster...

as above.

Carnation growing in amongst the rosemary!

Day Lilies.

Cotoneaster with an unknown beetle.  I only saw the beetle when I looked at the photo which was taken of the flowers!

Fungus on the wood pile. Possibly Trametes versicolor, often called the "turkey tail.

Granny Smith apples.

Potato plants.
