Blue Moon

Just because...

Rain again

Pft!

Melancholy

I've been feeling melancholy and have written a terribly depressing post but deleted the whole thing so here's just another blurry photo (but I kind of like it)

Tiny tweeters

Unfazed by the rain and cold and happy to collect a few crumbs or seeds somebody may have left for them, these chirpy chaps are a cheerful lot. Camera shy, too.

It wasn't raining today. But the sun remained hidden behind mist and clouds. And I have no idea why I'm posting this nonsense.

Back to the regular schedule

aka more grey soggy dreariness

T'was the day after Christmas

And a pair of collared doves had a rendezvous in a nearby tree still wet with rain. However, the winter sun peeked shyly from behind the misty clouds before hiding again in the afternoon.
I may not need the ark just yet, it seems.

Water water everywhere...

The rain keeps pouring and some rivers and lakes have already reached or are nearing record high levels. The temperature today would be more appropriate for the end of March than the beginning of winter (15-16C aka cca 60F). The forecast is not very promising either, we may have a break from the rain during the day tomorrow but then more of the same, only with lower temperatures...
Damn, it's just not right!
