Ok weather this morning, I might not have been on a bike, but I did see plenty who were just not that early in the fog!

It's icy out this morning and foggy in patches but a beautiful light!

I wish my ride looked like that. I had fog, darkness and more fog..

Not much different here yesterday all day except for the middle bit which was fog and grey rather than fog and dark!
Today it is just grey. Waiting patiently for the return of the sun!

The fog was in the first photo but wasn't clear, I've cropped the photo and you can see land (blue) above the fog

There are some lovely photos. This will be a pleasure to judge. Only 6 days to go.

What's the theme for this one by the way? I've completely forgotten. Egrets?

I thought it was herons. I've seen loads of herons this weekend. Big, little, grey, white, black...... some with orange beaks and long necks.....

I think I've discovered a new variety of herons, all weird and flat looking like someone's steamrollered them! And they swim!

This isn't my picture, but it gives you an idea:

I think I'll name it Heronus Flatticus.

Looks a bit snowy, or is it exceptionally foggy your way?

It's very cold hence the heron's blue appearance in the snowy backdrop
