Icicle

The way the TV news has been going on you would think it had never snowed before, ever. Well really; two inches of the white stuff and they're in some kind of national panic. I didn't have to go far to take this picture; this odd icicle was hanging outside my kitchen window (must remember to fix those gutters sometime).

Red, White and Blue

What can I say about this block of flats? It's on Barnsley Street in east Hull, it's bigger than anything else around here. Despite appearances it's not built with Lego blocks ...that's about it really.

Blackheaded Gull

Took a trip out to Driffield the other day with a view to taking some photos. I managed this one and about half-a-dozen more when the batteries in my camera went flat. I had another camera but the batts had died in that too; so I was not the happiest of bunnies.

Feeding the ducks...

....and the geese and the gulls and the pigeons. This man suddenly found himself very popular when he emptied a bag of breadcrumbs.

The building in the background is Malet Lambert school, one of the better educational establishments in Hull which isn't saying much.

Peacock Blues

Looking for animals to photograph for today's theme picture I came across these colourful peacocks stoically sitting out the wintry chill in East Park's animal enclosure.

Sea of gold ...

alas no, just a fancy sunset on the Humber earlier this month.

Steps

This is the footbridge over the tracks at Beverley station. This is a posh bridge, it's covered, usually you're open to the elements as you cross.
