Our misty bedroom window after a late rising. We were deligted to be greeted with the sunshine. I raced outside with my camera into the freezing - and it had gone. Not to worry later it peeked out while we were waiting for some friends - so I captured some shots to follow.
Recently at the German Christmas Markets in Glasgow Isabella spotted these. We love them so much they take pride of place of the Kitchen counter. Like Nigella - we think they will stay up all year. The little flowers are made of dyed Indian Rubber Leaves.
Two of these little guys have been hanging around going in and out of the hedge. With Winter approaching they have been getting more and more adventurous coming to almost within touching distance. I couldn't resist getting a photo - even if it was with the flash on a rather dreary Scottish day. I wanted to get closer to the little guy, although it was raining and would rather not drown my favourite lens and beloved 7D. I have used the 2x extender and sacrificed a little clarity for the sake of a dry camera.
