2023 Daily Photos // Days 352 - 358

 




17th December 2023
Starting the week with yet another amazing sky!
And finished another jigsaw. 



18th December 2023
I'll always reach out my hand to catch a falling feather.
Tiny little treasures.




19th December 2023
Catch Me If You Can! Lush bath courtesy of Mam!


20th December 2023
Fell down the Ancestry hole yet again...





21st December 2023
I was a little sad not to be going on a nature walk for Winter Solstice today but then
I was treated to a 'Nacreous clouds' show from my own back garden.



22nd December 2023
A dark, moody sky to end the first day of Winter and a bright, misty moon too!



23rd December 2023
A beautiful white release dove joined the rock dove flock today.
This is what happens to those captive-bred birds that people think are cool to throw into the air on their Wedding days etc.
They are just domestic Rock Doves (pigeons), bred to have a specific colouring
and then they are sent into the world to fend for themselves. 
The companies selling these Doves often say that they will return home, however,
a huge amount are killed by accidents or predators because they are captive-bred.
Lucky birds like this one will find a pigeon flock to join and learn how to survive in the wild.

2023 Daily Photos // Days 345 -351

 



10th December 2023
It was a nice sunrise today with so many birds singing along.




11th December 2023
More pretty skies and even prettier girls.




12th December 2023
Needle felted a little sheep to go in with Mam's birthday present.


13th December 2023
These little buggers have my window and window sill filthy! haha
Despite getting plenty of their own food on the ground, they've taken over the little bird's window feeders.
I think I'll have to move them purely because of the mess!








14th December 2023
Popped over to visit and give Grandma's grave a tidy. 
It's such a peaceful cemetery with lots of nature and wildlife.





15th December 2023
The stages of just one sunset!
And Mam's birthday cake!



16th December 2023
While Aurora loves soft things and blankets, Eos loves paper and bags haha.
Mr Crow was looking majestic in the afternoon light today too.

2023 Daily Photos // Days 338 - 344





3rd December 2023
So the snow has taken over...
Yesterday it dropped to -7, but today it warmed up a bit.


4th December 2023
Usually not a fan of things on my feet in general, but these socks and slippers
are my favourites right now!


5th December 2023
Mars doesn't always close his eyes fully to sleep (I assumed due to being partially sighted),
but I caught him today flat out and cosied up in his bed!!






6th December 2023
December's Washington Wetlands visit! What a wonderful day.


7th December 2023
Dropped the car off at the garage and brought Baker to tag along.
The 2-mile walk home was a bit too long for him these days but he loved getting to sniff some new places.


8th December 2023
Here comes the rain!
Why is it when it's raining, people say it is a 'miserable' day?
Why is rain miserable and sun beautiful?


9th December 2023
Mars was out running about in the kitchen while the girls tried to eat their dinner,
so to distract him from bothering them I put his bowl of pellets on the floor.
While I was washing up I heard crunching and turned around to this cute sight!
