We’re having a lovely winter here. Snow on the hills, frost on the dunes and some gorgeous clear moonlit nights. I should have gone for a walk in the hills for New Years Eve really as the moon was full and the snow looked lovely. It even looked quite wintry here on the coast this morning.
Early Morning Moon over Ynyslas Dunes
December the 1st, the first day of winter and after what turned out to be a very windy autumn, the weather is right on cue with the first frost.
The winds have eased here in Wales and we had a lovely clear night last night with a nice moon.
Winter Moon
The temperature dropped to -0.7ºC overnight nd then this morning there was a frost and a lovely sunrise.
Frosty Sunrise
Last night was the first dry, windless night we’ve had for a while so I put the moth trap out to see what we could catch.
We awoke this morning to the first frost of the winter and not a moth in sight. The first night since getting the moth trap that we’ve caught nothing.
Oh well, I guess that’s a small price to pay for a beautiful clear, frosty morning.
