This morning the sky was clear when I was making breakfast. It didn’t last!
An hour later everything was covered in a thick freezing fog. However, it did gradually thin down and I took out the A6500 with the kit lens and the Tamron too. I just went over to St Mo’s and did a circuit of the pond. It wasn’t all that successful. The fog kept coming and going, thickening and thinning. I did get a few photos, but even the thin fog wasn’t as clear as it had been a week ago.
It was also really cold. I must look out a pair of full finger gloves. The fingerless ones are fine when the weather is cool in winter, but my fingers freeze up on really cold, sub zero days like today. I might have a look for a pair tomorrow if I meet up with Alex.
It’s been a tradition that we go in to Glasgow to photograph the lights in George Square at Christmas. I must admit I do get bored with wandering around taking photos of the same lights as last year, especially when it’s cold. Even with my new down jacket and my insulated walking trousers, the cold will manage to find a way in.
Scamp and I were in Glasgow yesterday and we thought there were fewer than normal stands and food outlets. Maybe I’ll be able to convince Alex that St Enoch’s will be a better target for our cameras. It seems to have taken over from George Square.
Well, the tree is up. The decorations are in place and the Letter has been opened and read and the Snowman table cover is on the table. I think it must be nearly Christmas.
The PoD went to a shot of frosted Cow Parsley seed heads, complete with spider webs, I saw on my walk over to St Mo’s this cold morning.
Tomorrow, as I said, I’m hoping to meet Alex in the bus station in Glasgow. Where we go after that will hopefully be revealed tomorrow evening, all being well.
