This morning

[Bamber]

We've had wet and windy weather for almost a week now. This morning was brighter and the winds had dropped quite a bit. It's also cooler (nearer seasonal temperatures) and not forecast to last, so it was good to get out for a short but mucky walk to start the day.

The cloud really highlighted the bright sunlight on Snipe Island. Difficult to believe from these photos, but there were at least 100 Canada Geese in the water meadow of Snipe Island.

I love gaps in the trees giving me a frame to photograph through.

There's a swan on the far side of the water meadow. Not sure if it's Grack or Grock.

We often get a slice of mist in the Dart Valley, usually risen from the river, occasionally separated from overhead clouds.

There was frost on the roof this morning. Took a short walk to the river on my way to do some grocery shopping.

The structure behind to the left of this tree is lime kilns.

As I was shooting into the light I'm quite happy how this one turned out.

They were used to burn limestone, which produces quicklime for neutralising the local soil, which is acidic. Lime was also used to paint walls as it kept away bugs, mold and other nastiness.

Took a walk to Longmarsh this morning. Very little mist today and cold on the hands, but a beautiful morning to be out in the fresh air.
