A beautiful hazy morning on Ullswater, it was one of those morning when you can almost sense that something special is going to happen. I went to one of my usual spots on the shores of Ullswater, set my gear up and waited for things to happen. The first hint of colour started from the left gradually covering the clouds and sky with a stunning pastel orange glow. One of those morning when you realise why you get up early, and stand for a while waiting..

Butternut squash with a dollop of blue cheese on a wee piece of crisp bread......delicious, healthy! Gone fast....
I was up early on the day I had a long drive (this picture was taken at 4:00am) and this gave me the chance to see another lovely sunrise. The fishermen in this trawler were obviously up even earlier than I was as they leave for the day's fishing!
While driving to a nearby wildlife refuge I couldn't resist pulling over to watch the sunrise over the river (oh and take a couple of pictures as well).
I have never seen the lake freeze completely over in one night, but record cold temps of -4F/-20C last night did the job. There was no ice at all when I went to bed. I don't expect it to last, however, as a bright sun even now looks to be working on it and the forecast actually calls for a few days in the 40sF/4-5C ahead...as mentioned previously, a range we have yet to see at all this year.

This is the first time I have been able to photograph this not so rare bird. They seem to like the diet of overripe berries and are known to get drunk as the berries may start to ferment.
It's not easy to get the details on this overcast day as the feathers are of extremely fine texture.
