good evening all
4.6 yesterday and 4.9 today
It's been a much better day here today than it was yesterday so we did get out for a walk
Anybody else struggle a bit at the moment on those dark cold wet days? I used to go out for a walk regardless of weather but this winter I'm finding it difficult to motivate myself on days like that, by extension if I don't get going for some exercise I don't get other things done
(sometimes I don't post here either
).
Maybe it's because we're not getting to do the regular little trips we used to do for shopping, including coffee, or a stroll somewhere different
I'm so lucky to live here where I can at least walk the village and we can still take care of Mum but I admit I still miss the other little freedoms. Sorry for the whinge
@gennepher - you are so intrepid, I'm glad you got to your friendly post office and back safely. I like both your pictures, the moonscape has a lovely glinting light in the mid ground. Your dark, light pierced picture is good and gives a good sense of the duality of the beauty with the edge of fear. So glad you got back safely
Thawing cars and stuff out can be a real job sometimes, I remember having to crawl across the drivers' seat because the car doors furthest from the house were just solid
@dunelm - two fine pictures the last couple of days. The first is an impressive sketch through the trees and the second landscape works well, I especially like the central tree, fine foliage and bark rendering.
@dogslife - glad your visit went as well as it did
@Krystyna23040 - hugs, I'm glad it seems to be going well for Archie now, our furry companions mean such a lot to us.
@Muddy Cyclist - I hope it will be a while until you need to have your cataracts done too
Your first shot at the painting has deep and mysterious water, I like it, it's so colourful and a far cry from the tepid 'mud' trouble I manage to paint myself into
Interested to know how you will fare with the 'here be dragons!'
The second version is a great new start though, very lively
I look forward to the finished painting.
Hope your day is treating you kindly
art bit -
this is my shot at a waterfall somewhere in Yosemite I saw a photo of on the net.
