Getting back to the boat late last night, everywhere seemed lit up by this amazing bright moon, but oh, it was freezing cold!

A startlingly bright moon appears to light up the slender branches of a shapely tree, adding sparkling highlights to the dark limbs. This photo even feels cold!

Moorning!

Ducks on the cut in December....

Chilly start to the day, 2⁰C with a frigid breeze

But these birds chilling gracefully on the shorelines....

Blue sky with a few wispy clouds is set on fire by a egg yolk golden sunrise set behind spindly winter trees on the horizon. In the foreground ripples on the cut just about refect the golden sun.

Sunset over the cut
Reeds into the dark
Hardly a ripple

A bright amber sunset over the canal blending into a sky of deep indigo The skyline is broken by tall reeds, spiky against the sky A pontoon leads out to moored boats The canal is calm with none of the wild thrashing of the storm of last week

A bright autumnal moon with halo and flare brightens up the dark and choppy water with flashes and glints of light.

My washing
2nd time today, I've checked the launderette, no one there.
I go back to the boat, gather my bag and wash stuff and return to the laundrette, both washers now full and there's a queue!
3rd time lucky?

A bright blue sky and a favourite tree to set you up for the day

A large tree on a high point above a canal. The tree is still partially green and stands against a vivid blue sky with flicks of whispy bright white cloud behind. It is a BIG sky today, if you know what I mean. The thin portrait arrangement of the photo accentuates this.

2 mallard ducks, a male sitting and a female standing, are stoically facing into the wind on a rather battered boardwalk above a grey green canal reflecting the overcast sky
