Posturing pigeons
The same two woodpigeons (Columba palumbus) seen in Image As can be seen they're having a bit of a set-to, presumably a courtship activity, but it seems a little late in the year. Perhaps they've just got a bit of extra exuberance as the sun has finally decided to appear after four months of almost unremitting rain and gloom ! To see a more peaceful specimen of the species see Image]

Snoozing by the arbour
On a rare sunny day in June, in a year when rain has been a very regular feature, Fudge the cat finds a bit of shade to curl up in.

Two woodpigeons flapping about
Two woodpigeons out of four that have been making a lot of commotion recently - flapping about and generally causing a rumpus. I assume that this is courtship behaviour, but being near the end of July it seems a little late in the year.

Early snow, Tring
This may well be considered too much like a home snap to be included on the site - but it's intended to show the considerable fall of snow that we had in Tring on the night of 28th October 2008 - very early for such a fall. Some snow also fell in London, this was the first time it had snowed in the Capital in October since 1934.
The cat behind the snowbear is real and revelling in the chance of being camouflaged at last !

Temperature gauge sporting white busby
The wall mounted temperature gauge in our garden doubled as a snow-depth gauge for a number of days during the December chill of 2010. The snow depth peeked at between 5" & 6" (12-15 cm). As can be seen, the temperature when the photo was taken was about -3ºC, but a few days earlier the overnight minimum measured by my little electronic weather station was a far chillier -12.3ºC while nearby Chesham recorded -18ºC the same night apparently.

Dew bedecked web
A misty morning resulted in all the cobwebs in the garden being picked out with tiny drops of dew along each strand of the web.

Ice crystals on a mirror
Feathery formations of ice crystals on a garden mirror. The temperature over the last few days has rarely crept above freezing and has been as low as -12°C
Note that the parallel lines are the result of the reflection in the mirror.

Exuberant lilies
The continuing warm spell - two weeks of temperatures around 30°C - with hours of sunshine has brought out these lilies in an exuberant display. They needed a bit of help from a watering can however, as there's been no rain to nourish them.

Connected to the web
No doubt these webs are a regular feature adorning the little weather station, but it takes the dew of a November morning collecting on the gossamer strands to betray their presence and reveal the beauty of their construction.

The moon from Tring
Looking up at the full moon as seen in Image] - taken with a hand-held compact camera, I was surprised how well this turned out.
The prominent crater about 4/5th the way down with rays emanating from it is called Tycho, named after the famous C16th Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (14th Dec 1546 – 24th Oct 1601)
