The difference a week can make.

Well! the weather here in the South East of England has gone made again !!! One day we had freezing cold temperatures and snow, then next day, like today! we have mild and warm temperatures. Its no wonder we have a lot of colds and flu around this time of the year, but i still wouldn't want to live any where else, but here..... 

Here are a few pictures i have taken this week to show you.



I took these photos a week ago when we were experiencing minus 6 c The temperature only just managed to go up to 1 c during the day and i can tell you it was very cold.


A haw frost can be great to capture great photos like these.  



This frosty photo of my boundery fence shows how cold it was . I took it about 8 am.



 These photos were taken on my way to my patchwork class on Wednesday . The boats on the canal were sitting in a thin layer of ice.
 I can remember in 1963 when the canal froze so hard that we were able to walk on it. That 's when we had long cold winters and hot long summers. 



This photo of the canal was taken into the sun,  it gives a dreary wintery scene.





Today the weather was warm and sunny. Temperature at 8c so we took  Ruby for a walk to Maldon prom. She had a great time paddling in the water and socialising with other dogs and their owners.







 This photo was taken looking into the sun. so is not so crisp.
 Maldon Prom is a lovely place to visit especially if you like boats of any kind.
 As it was a high tide we were able to get up close to this swan and her signets.
 The sunny conditions were great for these reflections

 Again i was shooting into the sun. I quite like the black and white effect of the photo.
 Ruby with hubby walking along the causeway. The water floods over when there is a high tide.
The church in the back ground is where i was christened some 63 years ago.
See how calm the water is at high tide.
This is my favourite photo. I took all these photos on a manual setting and think they are not too bad....
