I don't like the thought of the cold to come, being wet out of the shower, cold workspace with little heating, I've had chilblains in the past... -

Season of mists ...
I was supposed to be on another mission, but after the rain, on the riverbank, it was particularly photogenic this morning -You may have seen this same view just before sunrise before, but it was different today.
Some locals think it would be a good idea to de-tide the river with a gated weir, but the ducks and many others would disagree. The apparition in the water is no fish, but a white-faced heron coming in to land.

A little later, an update on the double window. There's so much to focus on, I'm struggling with the stere0-visi0n. I disturbed one of the long spider threads - the string of light trailing off at the right is the answer blowin' in the wind.
Rebalanced, allowing the left-side dominance to take over, but still there are gems to the right.

So this is what happens next after peppers go bad.
I reckon it had plenty and looked better before! But the autumn blend definitely has something more than the sum of the parts.

More on yesterday's brief fogginess - through the double window, before sun-up.
Just after sun-up, the murky golden light befitting the last of this poplar's leaves.
The solo duck generally feeds with the gang of five, but that dark blob beside it is its best friend, a black chook. -

Re chilblains Jos - there isnt really a cure. We tried about everything as kids (I was brought up in CHCH and the far south.)
The family remedies were:
*rubbing the chilblains with your own pee. Made no discernible difference as far as I could ascertain- this was my Nanna's suggestion (and apparently a Scots folk remedy.)
*rubbling the 'blains with onion juice. Stings. Doesnt do anything else. Attracts onion perverts.
*eating ginger. This seemed to help. Unfortunately, the only ginger available way back then was dry or wet crystallised, and was hellishing expensive.
*However - this is now, and fish oil capsules work just fine. I add as much ginger as I want - because I love the stuff. Along with garlic-Havent had a chilblain for a decade& a half (and I still live in the cold part of the South...)

Nice, thanks Islander, we consume a fair bit of garlic ( I gre 100 bulbs this year) and ginger, and have also been wearing gumboot socks during the deepest parts of winter and haven't suffered too much lately.
Here's another blend, i like the randomness of how they join up, but i have messed with dirt and textures in this one -

Wow, wonderful colour, I can smell them from here, they look nicely loose skinned as well!
I use Photoshop Nora, have done for years so I enjoy playing.
