December Cold Moon

A clear frosty morning gave an opportunity to see the December 'Supermoon':





As predicted it was large and bright, too bright for the little Nikon to cope with as detail was burned out. I tried a bit of burning in Affinity but the detail just wasn't there.

Winter Moth

Spotted resting on my front door this morning:



For once it was one I managed to identify very quickly.
A Winter Moth (Operophtera brumata)

An Apple a Day ......

.... is one of the surest ways to attract Blackbirds to my garden:

A Tale of Two Robins

Or to be exact one with a tail and one without:



More than a bit surprised when I was scanning the video captures to see what had been visiting the bird table. Born like it or the result of an altercation with a cat or another Robin? We will never know.

White Thursday

We've had Black Friday.
 Here, near the Lincolnshire coast, today is turning out to be White Thursday:

Dazzling Penny

In this case the Penny is my retired greyhound. This year I bought her a new reflective harness for our  Winter early morning walkabouts. Here are her coat, old harness and bright orange reflective harness:



This piece of video, captured as we went out yesterday morning, shows how well it works. Though it is mainly lit by the infra red LEDs on the camera it is just as dazzling when lit by street lamps or vehicle headlights.



I have a fully reflective coat I wear on dark rainy or misty mornings. Though padded it is not quite as warm as the one I have on in the video and at least it has a couple of reflective strips.

Both harnesses are from CosyDogs in the UK.

For this week's teaser I used Circular Studio for a change:
