Please Hold...

 Remember that scene in Jaws 2 in which Chief Brody is trying to convince Mayor Vaughn and the rest of the town council that the photograph retrieved from the missing divers' camera is of a shark?  Well, I've been dealing with a (not very) similar situation - as you can see from the image above - which is why I haven't been around much lately (although I have been visiting your blogs when I can).  More on that in a bit.

 To be honest, what with the above and other matters, it'll probably be a little while longer before I'm back to my semi-(ir)regular posting and commenting.  So, in the meantime, here's some 'hold music':

  What with one thing or another (which I shall elaborate on in a future post), December passed by in a bit of a blur.  This meant that I managed to forget about Melanie's Nature Led photo submission (the theme for which was 'Nature at Rest').  Oops!

 So, as the skies were blue, this morning I headed out with Camera to get some photos for this month's theme: Moss.  And here are the results:

It's Arrived!

 Yes, 2023 has arrived safely upon the shores of Great Britain, only slightly worse for wear after all those libations first in Australia (Dinah!) and then, most recently, The Netherlands.

As per, there's too much cloud cover to actually see the sun...
