That's a fine looking newt, dj

I'll post it later

Including nothing .... Hmmm you ain't going to win the comp that way.... Still that means you have used up one of Rocky's possible ways of mocking me

Just go over to the my ride today... Was aiming on yesterday's ride. The one of the field in the fog, the large one and the last one... I'll try again later. Honest.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Would I do that?

Doesn't even justify an answer!






Ooops

I know which one you mean .... The mist is lovely to photograph .... But does it bring joy? ..... Usually means I'm cold and damp but I do enjoy capturing a good photo (very good photo though)

It brought joy to me. 20 minutes of it taking many photos that I love.... and it kept me away from that bedroom for a while!

Not to mention the sun was burning it off and I was getting warm!

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Oh and here is the other one that brought me joy. Lovely and spring like and WARM....
I was sitting on the trike when I took it hence the low angle.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

ohhh just back from this... great joy. A sundog/Parhelia http://www.atoptics.co.uk/halo/parhelia.htm

It lasted for ages. Basically for the unsophisticated it is a rainbow without the rain. for the rest of the world, it is caused by a certain ice crystal in the stratosphere at a certain angle to the sun.

Science behind it. http://www.atoptics.co.uk/halo/dogfm.htm


As the sun got higher in the sky, so did the Parhelia which is really unusual.

You're getting about a bit!

You're getting about a bit!

this was whilst I was getting my trike out this morning.... so literally in my back yard!

But I get out twice a day, not matter what the weather. One is always a walk (the evening) and I try to make sure that the morning is a trike ride.
Have to do my physio and as my therapist says, if I don't fight I'm not going to get my life back sadly.

 

[djb1971]

glad you're back out

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

glad you're back out

don't you read the my ride today thread? I can now manage 15 miles in roughly 2 and a half hours! I should be ready to set out for south American by the time I am ....... ?

I have the odd spurt on there.

Can't keep up the waffle on two threads. There's a more discerning group of nutters on this thread

so what you have missed is this.

I have been out on my trike on the roads 3 times now. All occasions in dense fog and am now able to tricycle roughly 15 miles in something approaching more than 2 hours. my average speed is currently measured in something I have no desire to acknowledge but I am slowly getting faster (7.3 to 7.4) and am covering more climbing though this is more accidental than anything else. And I have a spot the car competition going with these photos.



I think that summarises what you have missed. except for the fact you have missed some really nice photos of recent of mine....

 

[djb1971]

Can you email me every week with that summary. You've condensed 25 pages into one paragraph

you could also do one for this thread


I'll pop on later to take a look at the pics. Can't be bothered on my phone, eyesight isn't' what it used to be. But I've spotted the cars, the others must be blind
