Windpump

In our garden on Friday.

His first visit to see Santa Claus. Not at all phased. Just stuck his thumb into his mouth and began nodding off. Cute isn't it?

Night-time exposing

I thought I might try night time exposing.

122 second's at f8, ISO 100 for those of you who are interested.

Moo

A Highland Cow, Aberdeen Angus, hairy cow or Heilan Coo. Call it what you will. This is one in close up portrait monochrome.

January dauner in Derbyshire

Dark peak, Derbyshire

Then there are some mobile phone shots that I have taken in the month of January that might be worth a look, but only this one worth posting.

And as a bonus, a wet street in the land where rain comes from, , ..... Manchester
