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.
