Picspam & stuff

[kribu]

It's been an incredibly sleepy Sunday. Raining hard almost all day, grey and bleak.

Watching Doctor Who: The Fires of Pompeii did brighten the day though. Enjoyed it a lot, and spotted a few cute nods to the old series again. Yay!

Went for a walk yesterday, so there's picspam. After a lot of deliberation, decided to do the flowers picspam post today and the rest in a separate post at some point.

Have spent most of the day, on and off, watching a direct webcam feed of Donna the black stork nesting. Mostly she's been just sitting there, but I got to see her get up and rearrange the eggs (three of them, I think) a few times and on one occasion, poop over the edge of the nest. Exciting!

How beautiful. Snowflakes are wonderful - I'm not sure I've ever seen those before.

They're really pretty. We have quite a few but they generally bloom for a rather short time after the snow is gone, and generally are not very abundant.
