cold winter morning ... January the 10th

I looked outside from the window at 8.15 this morning (how precise again!).

"Wow!!!! The tree branches are white!!!!!" ...and it took a few second to realise that they are covered with hoarfrost/ice. What happened next? Of course I dashed out into the garden with my camera (I should name it :-))) and took lots of shots.

 

I couldn't stand the cold so long, as I noticed I didn't wear gloves. So I went inside, checked the shots (oh, dear! lots of out of focus shots!!!!!), changed the lens (from 90mm macro to 60mm macro), wore my gloves, and dashed out again with BIG HOPE to catch at least few very nice shots :-)))

 

......Inside again......OMG......no, absolutely NO SHOTS good enough for the Flickr. Maybe this one is the best focused one. Perhaps I should start using a tripod more often......

 

BTW I managed to retrieve the saucepan from my icy pond :-) Inside the pan there was half an inch thick ice there though :-)))) Just let you know :-)
