This bird visited a couple of years ago but on a day very like this has been with continuous snow and falling temperatures. Hardy little souls they seem to manage very well in this weather.
Photographers often sing the praises of “the golden hour” at sunset or “the blue hour” just after and they are worth making use of. However, I often find that to my eye, maybe not yours, the really interesting light is in the middle of a heavy shower of rain when there are no shadows, the light is diffused and the colours of flowers positively glow.
Weather change is coming
Fans of the Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy will be familiar with the lorry-driving rain god and his 92 words for types of rain constantly poured on his head by all the clouds that simply “wanted to water him”. This was the rain type known as heavy blatter.
Quite something.
Snowing today and this should stay until Christmas – meanwhile this little guy came to the heated bird bath for a good drink.
For our Euro friends, this black squirrel is actually a gray squirrel. They also come in cream.
