A late night last night but I was up and out before the sun. It was -5C but there was no wind so it was a beautiful frozen world.
It seems the gulls sit on the sea and try to ride out most waves but if there's a big one going to break on top of them they take to the air. They seem to play a merry dance with the breakers.
Once you notice the pattern in the behaviour the rest is patience and timing.
Not all share patience for this sort of thing...
The wind had dropped away and a heavy frost lay across the grass of the dunes, the seaweed on the sand and the leaves among the trees. Once I saw one pattern, I saw patterns everywhere.
The exmoor ponies must have had a chilly night but they're designed for much colder conditions than a bit of frost!
Back to the beach for a last look at the sea lit by the morning sun before heading home for breakfast
At this time of year we enjoy a winter walk around the grounds of Howick Hall. Last year I started to photograph the winter vegetation and the beautiful frozen leaves but there were so many I had to walk away.
Same thing this year...
