Once again I was just a little too late to catch the best of this sunrise ... oh well, I guess you 'get the picture' ..

It was followed by quite a nice day, at times somewhat cloudy and cool, but with plenty of sunshine as well.
Temperatures are just shy of 50F at the moment, around 48-49, while at night they're hoovering between 36/38F. 
Not bad for this time of the year although I was, and still am, hoping for a lot more winter-y weather! 

                                    

The low angle of the sun of these days was peaking prettily through these oaks on my morning walk .. and the Spanish moss hanging from the oaks made for a rather 'magical-forest' feel to it all ..

Looking back after climbing the hill in the meadow next to us, I saw these two forlorn looking creatures down below.

                                

They were bummed since I climbed over the fence where they can't (and aren't allowed to) follow me ..

                   

They waited patiently until I came back .. never taking their eyes off me.

Later in the day the clouds rolled in for real again and the light quickly disappeared.
I guess the days are getting longer, and it does feel a little 'lighter' I have to say, but only when the weather is nice!

 

James has a new toy .. it's a large tablet that he's going to use when 'in the field' which holds a camera and software that measures a property (house and/or property) and makes a drawing at the same time and has a whole bunch of other nifty features of which I have no clue what they all do.
Bottom line is that it makes his work a lot easier and faster so it's all good!

                                                          
(We're not going to talk about what this all cost us again .. nope .. better not .. sigh)

I didn't do much at all this week. 
I 'had' to read two e-books, that both came in off the waiting list of my library at the same time (after months of waiting), before they disappear again (in 2 weeks).
I loved them both by the way ('The correspondent' by Virginia Evans and 'Someone else's shoes by Jojo Moyes), which doesn't happen very often lately.

The sun didn't set as nice as it rose although in reality it looked much better than in this picture.

In the hope that my camera would function a little better than what it has been doing lately I bought a new (faster) SD card and battery but it hasn't made much of a difference.
I might have to bring it somewhere to have it cleaned one of these days .. god knows I've abused the poor thing something terrible over the years.
