Nearly a Waste of Time
Yesterday Penny made another visit to see her vet to have her blood pressure checked. That failed as she wouldn't calm down enough to get an accurate reading. Try again next week with a longer visit to give her time to settle. I wasn't in the best of moods when we left but that soon changed when I spotted one of the brightest rainbows I have ever seen. Much brighter than the iPod captured it but still looks pretty good. On the second clip you might just be able to make out a second rainbow to the right of the main one.

Peek-a-boo
Nothing much of note yesterday so I took a photo with my iPhone of the Moon trying to shine through thin cloud and a tree.

Monday Mystery
Last week's three views
were all part of
an owl night light. Clear acrylic which has the owl engraved inside the platic. It is barely visible when not illuminated but shines when lit by the LEDs contained in the box it stands on. Different colours can be selected or it can be set to cycle through all the colours, though this effect runs far too fast for my liking.
Well done to Adrian, Kris, Ellen, Dave and Ragged Robin who spotted it was an owl. Many thanks to all who have had a go at guessing this year's mystery objects. I haven't though about what to do for some puzzle photos for next year as yet.

Rook
After yesterday's fleeting visit from Storm Bella so far today it has been brilliant Sunshine. No discernible damage hereabouts from the storm and far less rain than I expected with my weather station only recording about 10mm. I was woken up about 2 a.m. by something clattering outside. Got out of bed and saw it was the door on the gas meter box flapping in the gusts. I quickly dressed and went out to close and secure it before it was torn off and I ended up with a bill for a replacement.
To brighten up the morning even more I spotted this Rook on top of the bird feeder pole.
Penny is a bit better now she has had her medication increased. Also her diet has been changed to include food formulated for lessening renal problems. Still 'leaking' but not so frequently and able to ask more often to go in the garden. In fact I was woken at 6 a.m. by her barking in my ear to wake me up and let her out.

Monday Mystery
Last week's close view
was part of
a folding table, looking a bit grotty after being outside in all weather for years. Well done to Adrian, Maree, Kris, Dave and Ragged Robin. Thanks to all who had a go.
One final mystery for 2020
Three partial views of .... what? Please leave any guesses in the comments. They will be revealed, along with the answer, next Monday.

Christmas 2020
Wishing you all the best we can make of Christmas this year.
On the left is my small raised pond with lanterns and colour changing spotlights, all Solar powered. On the right my little artificial Christmas tree with LED lights. This video was composed mostly using Wondershare Filmora X which has many different text effects built in. The Carol of the Bells tune is a MIDI file played through an electronic keyboard. The Moon was used to cover up the clock which hangs above the pond.
