The worst part of winter happened today, scraping the godanged ice off the car at silly o’ clock to get to work early this morning. 🙄 Ice mountains on the roof, and crystals on the mirror tops.

It was my day off today and really hoped to go out with the rollei, but we had a day of incessant rain, again. Still, I was determined to do some photography, so invented a waterproof housing for the fuji (a freezer bag and cat collar) attached it to my trusty tripod, donned my waterproof jacket, and sallied forth into the garden. Within 5 minutes I discovered my jacket had the equivalent waterproof capabilities of a colander, but hey ho, sometimes you have to suffer for your art. 🙂

The rain doesn’t stop the visitors to the Happy Eater tree.

The weather forecast for the rest of the week is not much better, oh well, maybe the week after will be better!
