The winter seems to have arrived.

The winter seems to have arrived in Northern Ireland,  Just about an hour ago Lorraines car was reading -10.

Here are a few photos I have taken over the last few days.  The swans were getting it tight at the Corbet lake.  They are so glad of food, they would almost take it from your hand, dont think I have ever been so close to a swan.  The lake is frozen again, as can be seen from the boat sitting on it.

 

Here is the beginning of my post. And here is the rest of it.

The setting sun over Corbet

I was sitting one evening and I caught the setting sun just out the side of my eye. I got my camera and very quickly captured the photo below. Even with menacing clouds there can be rays of sunshine. I thought that is not a bad way to view life and all it throws at us.
