The first two photos were taken with my phone on my day off last week, when I walked to the library and didn't bring my camera because it was so foggy I didn't think it would be worth it.
The second two were taken this morning on the way to work.

Fog
We've had a lot of fog recently.

Count the birds
Not a great photo or anything like it - but I was fascinated (on one of the few dry mornings last week) to see so many different species of bird that could be captured in one photo. There were also crows and a magpie on the mudflats, but I could't fit them in too. Unusual to see the heron in so much company.
We have - the heron, swans, a pair of cormorants, some mallards, a moorhen (swimming) and merging into the background, a pigeon - along with the usual seagulls. Only black-headed gulls in this shot.
I should have said one of the drier mornings - there was enough of a shower to produce this rainbow. I was walking up the hill and could see someone standing in the tram tracks looking at something. I was trying to work out what she was looking at, and wondered it if was a bluetit I could see flying across the road. Then I turned round and saw the rainbow.
By the time I left work it was pouring; part of the footpath was like a running stream, so I had to walk on the water-logged grass. Just as well I'd taken time that morning to re-waterproof my shoes.

Sunday in the Park...
Sunday was a beautiful day - the downturn in temperature had just started, but it was a sunny morning with blue skies and we took a walk in the park in the morning.
The background of the picture with the female mallard ties in with the arty look of the gull in my header photo! The first photo is a jay - I was disappointed not to get a side view with the barred wings, but we really enjoyed watching him.

October Favourites
Several favourites from the cards I made for the Hope You Can Cling To challenges on Splitcoast, but not much else thanks to a very busy month with a lot going on. Including getting used to a new computer and trying to copy all my files over.
Apparently I took very few photos last November! I remember this one that I am using for my blog header this month - I loved the way the low morning sun reflecting off the wall on the water almost looked like a painting.
