The Battle continues!

To get better.  Slept better last night, tho I still checked the time at least five times.... And on the loo trips checked outside for snow.  Which covered over just after dawn.  When the DP goes out, him being the Dawn Patroller.  So this is his photo up the defunct railway line.  (Which some idiots want to bring back the trains to this wonderful wildlife reserve.  Fortunately for once only thanks to the Tories there's no money, anywhere.)  Snow all gone now.

After lunch I was in the car and driving off to the Prom.  Still very windy, I can cope, just at the moment with the cold but not plus wind so remained in the car.

Wild seas.

The Gull Gang were having a whale of a time soaring and letting the wind move them.  There were loads up there.

Back home I watched this very clever Blackbird take food from a seed feeder.

I never have seen a Blackbird in the tree before.  Then when I had put the camera away he went onto feeding from a vertical hanging half coconut with fat in!!

I painted in between watching garden birds.

Still lots to do.

As this Blog is called Land of the Big Sky, reason being I always look up

Sitting in our dining room.

And then the icing on the cake.

Aurora Borealis.  The Northern Lights.  The DP is still taking photos so we just might see them dancing...... That has made me feel so much better.
