That&#39;s a lie. We had a brief flurry in the middle of the morning, none of which settled. But it was exciting while it lasted and triggered various conversations about &#39;getting home from work&#39; and &#39;will the heating break down&#39;. So we&#39;re not yet able to compete with scenes like this from <a href=\"http:\/\/my.opera.com\/volkuro\/blog\/2007\/12\/18\/after-the-storm\" target=\"_blank\">Louis&#39; blog<\/a>. What we got was more like this:<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/snow_0301080640.jpg' \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>By lunchtime most of the snow had vanished though I was able to photograph a few remaining ice crystals caught on a fence post. <br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/ice_0301080651.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>I found the ice by the dewpond I visit. No pond life to see today, unless a floating branch with some small fungi qualifies.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/fungi_0301080644.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>And that was about it photographically for the day. Damp, cold (but not too cold) and overcast sums up the British weather. The last two years have been the <a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/sci\/tech\/7169690.stm\" target=\"_blank\">warmest on record<\/a>. Which may explain why we had <a href=\"http:\/\/my.opera.com\/Words\/albums\/showpic.dml?album=201890&amp;picture=6141072\" target=\"_blank\">active newts<\/a> in our pond on New Year&#39;s Eve!<\/p>\n<p><i>Camera note: all shots taken with the EF70-300mm 4.5-5.6 DO IS lens. I added a 21mm extension tube for the ice and fungi shots, and used flash.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[153],"class_list":["post-1038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-weather","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1038\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
