Sock keeping an eye on the happenings outside. It honestly wasn't a lot, it's been so cold up here the last little bit that even the squirrels are limiting their time at the feeders.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

I dragged Ian out for a gentle stretch of the legs on a New Year's Day walk through Tring Park. I didn't realise how foggy and frosty it was going to be, but it was magical (if a bit cold!). This is not snow on the ground - it's feathery needles of frost which had fallen off the trees

Another taken in January was this of 455 and the Lance with the lemon coach beside. 455 spent about a month down at the yard while its new panels and MOT were put on and the Lance spent the whole winter. The lemon coach or should i say orange is seen about to head out for the afternoon service 44.
Pine tree and Temple of Aphaia, Aegina
January 1976
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Aphaea
A quote from that article: "Formerly known as the Temple of Jupiter Panhellenius, the great Doric temple is now recognized as dedicated to the mother-goddess Aphaia. It was a favourite of the Neoclassical and Romantic artists such as J. M. W. Turner." (and also me)

The last half of January 2022 has been exceptionally hot and dry along most of the California Coast. While the skies at sunset have been "on fire" - sadly so has thousands of acres along the Big Sur Coast just south of Carmel.
The late season blaze forced hundreds of residents to evacuate. And even with the big soaking this area got in December, the rain and cooler weather are no longer able to prevent "off season" fires from growing.
I'm fortunate to share this image with you all via Explore! Thank you for your feedback and encouragement!
Cheers Everyone!

I opened the window to let some fresh air in the house this afternoon and it didn't take long for Tigs' to come running.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

I had a tough week last week... I was walking on a path under the trees, at Crystal Bridges, thinking of all my problems and about everything that's very wrong about the world. As I was walking, the sun came out, and I a bud on a tree caught my attention. Coming from Chicago, I am used to polar weather in the winter, landscapes covered in ice and snow. This bud seemed to me somewhat out of place in January, even though here in the South it might not be. Anyway, I took this pic of it. All of a sudden, as I was standing in the sun, looking at this sign of life on one of the highest branches of the tree next to me, I felt strangely better. My problems did not seem that important. Started to realize that I could breath fresh air, and forget all the bad things, for a second or two at least. This was an amazing feeling. So to celebrate I did the most logical thing in the world: I decided that winter was officially just over. In January.

Flickr Support have asked me to leave my photograph up if it does not appear in your 'update feed' and start generating views as I would normally expect. This is so that their engineers can try to get to the bottom of the issue that continues to plague my account.
As a result this image may have fewer views and favourites than would be expected for a time.
I'm not entirely sure what's happened to Toad's face, but it looks like he's taken a bit of a beating... perhaps he got in Mario's way while he tried to save the Princess yet again?
Hope everyone is staying safe and doing well.

I *think* that after 50+ years of taking pictures I have finally internalized the basic requirement to make sure the entire subject is in the frame before taking the picture. At this point in time (Jan 1976), I evidently had not. Apologies.
ExPLoReD! No 3 on 1st May 2014. Thanks Guys and Gals for your kind comments and faves.
Taken when we were in Shropshire in January. The hill in the background is Titterstone Clee, which dominated the landscape in the part of south Shropshire where we stayed.
Near Ludlow, Shropshire, England.

Bored of the current lack of storms to chase so have been tinkering with old pics. This is a stacked image using a couple of frames from a 2011 storm (they are elsewhere in my photo stream). Needs a strike or two in the middle…
