After a long day of driving, and a couple of diversions, we arrived at Loch Lomond slightly later than expected but more or less just slightly too late for sunset. I managed to catch the tail end of it, but I suspect if we’d been there at the time I’d planned the sky would have been more interesting for longer.
Can’t do anything about that though, so thankful for the bits of pink and orange I managed to get!
After a spell of rainy weather, today was clear. So we decided to go out into the Peak District. After a bit of umming and aaahing about where to go, I settled on Padley Gorge because it is close and I suspected we’d still be able to get parked despite setting off a bit later than usual.
It was a bit chilly in the breeze, but quite a nice day out. We followed a circular from Alltrails that took us down into the gorge before going up to Surprise View and across Owler Tor and back to the car (see below).
Despite the heavy rain of the last couple of days the paths were more or less clear, with just some really muddy small sections that could be stepped over / around.
This is probably going to be the last walk of the year, as the weather forecast once again is not great after today until Monday; wherein I’m trying to decide if to go up Mam Tor, or go around the Ladybower areas.
Today my dad asked me if I wante to go on a little walk with him and my mum. I love a good tag along trip, so of course I said yes.
However, my mums definition of “a little walk” is a bit different to that of mine and my dads; we ended up walking 17k steps.
Then we went to the pub, and instead of ordering us a hot dog each, she ordered one hot dog! So we had to cut it up and share it… oops!
Another day, another black and white tree.
The weather today was quite nice. I took my brothers dogs out for a walk, then went for another walk with a friend. The first walk I was sweating, the second walk I was perishing!
A little photo dump from some of the shots from Wales that I have edited since I’ve returned home!
Today we came home. This is a shot from the car type of photo!
Hopefully we will have a couple of calmer days now. It was super windy and rainy this morning.
For some unknown reason I woke up at 630am this morning. As I was wide awake and it wasn’t blowing a gale I decided to go out. The roads and paths were super icy. I managed to grab a few shots of the sunrise behind a tree (below) and on the way back home I shot the above of a group of snowdrops.
It was nice to get out and it not be raining or super windy! : )
Another wet, windy and generally miserable day. Mixed in with the fact I had to take my car for it’s MOT and service, I couldn’t really go anyway in the morning. Aside from the nice sunrise, the weather was cloudy. By the time I’d gotten my car back the weather was not great. This seems to be a common theme of weekends in February!
Another wet and windy weekend. Yesterday I was shooting in the rain, and today was the same.
Today, however it was so windy that I just wound down my window and shot from inside my car. It was chucking it down with rain, then it started hailing.
