Another clear night, and a hard December frost.
This is just a rusty nail hammered into our back gate - it almost looks quite festive this morning!

A TESTAMONIAL TO BLUE-GREY. FROM A FELLOW WONDERER
I wonder at your camera, especially when you capture those exquisite close ups, but also that even the long shots of the wildlife I've seen have detail that most cameras can't give.
That may be your talent as a taker of pictures - but I find long shots with the still shutter of my puny vidcam (it fits in my pocket) affords only punctuation to mark the excitement of what I saw.
I don't mind. My messy memory is a superlative camera ready for life's duration to transform images into words and ideas.
Nonetheless your art with the lens is superlative especially when accompanied by your thoughts and the option of sublime music.
Thank you Black Rabbit. You are Hardy's subject:
nnnn
nnnn
"If, when hearing that I have been stilled at last, they stand. at the door,Watching the full-starred heavens that winter sees,Will this thought rise on those who will meet my face no more,'He was one who had an eye for such mysteries'?"

Love this picture. You can almost feel the cold! Ice crystals are so gorgeous - they almost look like diamonds. Funny how something as normal as a rusty nail can take on such a different persona!
Thanks UE!
I think this is possibly one of my favourite photographs of the year.
Of a NAIL!!!
Strange...
