Misty Morning in the Fox Cover.
Took this photo on my phone this morning in the Fox Cover, I haven't been doing here for a couple of years. I wish that I had taken my camera with me but it was an unplanned trip, I just had the pups out and we ended up doing there it was such a lovely morning. I love the low lying dew on the floor and the sun trying to break through the misty morning.

Day 050 of my 365 Project 
Tree of Life.
I bet this tree could tell some stories, I love the shape of this tree and its exposed roots. I much prefer trees when they are bare the leaves always cover up the details like a set of bad fitting clothes.

Day 049 of my 365 Project 
Lily and Luna Afternoon Walk.
Took the pups out this afternoon and had five minutes on the village seat watching the world go by. Its forty one days since they were my photo of the day last time. They're totally different characters although they are sisters from the same litter p.s.Luna on the left is clean for a change she's had another wash down when we got home as she decided to play fight in the muddy grass with Lily and the way back home.

Deserted Windermere.
I had some jobs in Cumbria today one of them at Windermere, I have never seen this as deserted no tourists, no steamers etc. I think the steamers were shut and also the road from Newby Bridge is closed too. I turned it black and white to make it timeless which I think it has.

Day 040 of my 365 Project 
Starry Starry Night.

Day 039 of my 365 Project 
Starlings on a Bench.

Day 037 of my 365 Project 
Bygone Advertisement.
I have been to York today and have seen this on this building for a few years and always loved it. I have never been able to stop to get a photo until today. I don't know if it reminds me of old Pathe news reels or Dads army or a bygone era

Day 034 of my 365 Project 
Winter View Saltburn Pier.

It was that cold today the lake is nearly all frozen over. It must have been cold there wasn't a sole walking around the lake for a change.
