I almost forgot to write and post my blog this evening!
I faffed around doing stuff on the computer for a bit after work, then took a shower and headed downstairs to veg out for the evening (“veg out” actually means “be remorselessly harassed by my two self-centred cats for a couple of hours“…). I was about to take my cup of tea into the living room when I remembered.
I’m approaching my two-thousand-consecutive-daily-post milestone this year, so I’d like to try and make it there if I can. Not that it really means anything. But, yet, somehow it does…

Another photo from my Christmas eve outing. I saw this scene as I drove past in my car but, due to the roads being narrow with no place to stop or turn around, I had to do a loop of several miles to bring me back to the same location so I could park up and go make the picture.
I think it might have worked well had I been able to face the trees head on, but there was limited space and my shadow would enter the scene if I positioned myself in certain places, so this was what I got.
