Hrm. And picspam.

First, this was supposed to be the reaction post to the news about the casting of the Eleventh Doctor, but... I don't really know anything about the actor. So I'm going to hope for the best, even though I'd have preferred someone older.

Second, went for a walk by the river earlier today. We were actually planning for the beach, but by the time we got that far, the sun was setting and it was very, very cold (a wonderfully brisk -5°C otherwise, but very windy at the seaside, and my fingers and toes were all frozen), so we just turned back.

Got a bit trigger happy with the camera as it was - I'm officially in love with the new lens. It's a little difficult to consider things like colour rendition etc yet, or even sharpness (as my focus was probably all over the place, what with runny eyes and runny nose and shaky hands), but it's so fast in focusing. And quiet. And a joy to handle. And it's marvellous to have a camera that does not take a random pink shot every now and then, or refuse to turn off or on at random times.

The first one is a random footprint in the grass - as you can see, we're a bit short on snow currently.





Sunset under the bridge.



Ice.



More ice.



Sunsettish sky over the rivermouth. The river's all frozen over, the sea is not.



Sailboat mast reflections on the ice.



Sunset over the sailboats.



Ice soup.



A bit more ice.



And some more ice. With a random smattering of snow.



Another bit of ice.



Ice with cattails.

The colours and textures of light and ice have always appealed to me. There's so much beauty there. Now, if only the sea froze, too...
