Snow and water

 Winter weather has finally arrived, with temperatures of -5 degrees Celsius and a covering of snow.



This is a night shot using my Nikon D3200 with a 18-105 Nikkor DX lens and illuminated by our new LCD outdoor lamps.


In the morning the snow was a little thicker and the temperature was closer to freezing at 0 degrees Celsius.  The drive has just been scraped and salted to make life easier for extracting the car from the garage.


We have just attended a family funeral and on our journey, we stopped off at Carsington Water for refreshments and a short walk.  I was surprised to see the level of the Reservoir so low at this time of year.  The vegetation on the exposed lakebed was significant and well established - that does not bode well for the new year.

In my camera cupboard I have had a Nikkor AF 70-300mm ED lens which I have not used for many years, so I thought I would give it a go....

Ah! - does anyone want a free Nikon zoom lens?  Hardly used.....
