Misty Morning.
Wednesday, January 28, 2009
It was a complete change of weather this morning. yesterday's torrential rain had given way to patchy mist. I get very confused with the correct terminology, up here in the hills we are often right in the clouds, sometimes you can see the bottom of the clouds just skimming the tops of the hedgerows.
This was my first view of the mist this morning, just past the Lewis' farm looking towards Shirwell.
As I drove down to work there were interesting patches of mist/cloud ? but there are almost no safe places to pull in on the main road, ( by main road I mean that it has a white line down the middle and cars can pass safely in both directions, compared to the back roads where you have to drive carefully past other cars or often reverse until you find a passing place) . These photos were taken from the layby at Burridge.
And on the way home (5.00pm) there was a lovely soft sunset, but my camera is frustratingly bad at capturing subtle tones and doesn't focus well in zoom.
The day turned out warm and was a balmy 12C this afternoon. It was warm enough to let the children play outside without their coats. Here you can see them continuing the role play we did last week, shows they must have enjoyed it.
I took this photo at 4.00 as the shadows were starting to creep up. The green is not real grass but a synthetic no-mow that we had laid on part of our field 2 years ago. At first I didn't like the idea that we had synthetic grass but as the real grass is unusable for 8 months of the year being too muddy the no-mow has proved worth having.
