SOMEDAYS ONE IS THE PIGEON (20/ 02/10)

Somedays one is the statue, I've got eight days here. As an aside I thank Keith at HOLDINGMOMENTS for this title.

I can’t really imagine being in a worse place, that’s cruel, there are loads of places much worse. It’s just that after last week or the last two weeks it’s a bit of a shock to arrive at a large site in a small town. We need food, gas and a few sundry bits and pieces. It’s also a big day for me a week Monday. So here for just over a week. There are, purportedly, Osprey just up the road and Otters here, hopefully enough to keep me from sin.

    We arrived, having victualled, to a pleasant if chilly afternoon, had a quick stroll, noted the ice on Derwentwater, went for a siesta and didn’t wake till dark.

We went out this morning to be greeted with this panorama…………….

After another very cold night Derwentwater is frozen, or almost. Just to add to the joys of life it is snowing.

It didn’t snow all day sometimes, for a change, it sleeted.

Black Headed gulls in the snow.

  A couple of Canada Geese, no doubt enjoying the weather.

     I believe these two hills are Cat bells and High Spy, but will check with map and compass before the week is out.

      And will also identify these islands.

A sunny day is forecast for tomorrow, so hopefully we will get out and venture a little further afield.

As an aside I have started a new blog to help those, like me, who are relatively new to Photoshop Elements. It should be somewhere in the sidebar of this blog but just in case you can find it by clicking:
