TAKE INTERMITTENT FOURTEEN

As time progresses, I realise that the majority of my photographs are now appearing on the DoWY bloggy anyway and that there would be little difference added here. I will continue with these monthly posts for this year, but I will have to make a firm decision then whether to cease posting here and dedicate to the single blog or return to regular daily posting here if I can make proper points of difference. Thanks to those of you who have remained here... and if you haven't followed the other blog, please do think of doing so!

This was shot from the shores of St Andrews, Fife. Storm Kathleen had been raging, so I guess these vessels were anchored for safety.

TAKE INTERMITTENT; THIRTEEN

Visiting Nobby and Gail in Aberdeen has been one of the several highlights of my trip out in The Grey.

TAKE INTERMITTENT TWELVE

Sub-zero temps are no deterrent to a swim in the Clyde for these young gulls! Larus Argenteus, Herring Gull. At the front, two with second winter plumage; at the back, third winter.

TAKE INTERMITTENT ELEVEN

Keep 'em guessing; that's what I say...

TAKE INTERMITTENT TEN

Wishing you all a Happy New Year, and may 2024 prove kind and pleasing to you. Despite best-laid plans, I have not been out and about again in The Grey since last summer, after all. This means that the storage files of photos have not been replenished to the levels I feel comfortable returning to full service here at the TAKE bloggy. The decision has, therefore, been made to continue with intermittent posts to keep the blog alive and let's see how this year pans out! This year, though, I am not going to tell you that it will be the first of the month for each shot to appear... because clearly, I couldn't even keep that schedule properly last year! So it will just be random postings as and when I remember. This means there may be more than one month... or it might be six weeks between posts. It'll keep you alert, eh?! Let's begin the Full Moon of Christmas Night as seen through a very rain-affected kitchen window...

TAKE INTERMITTENT NINE

Early October and the huge holly tree in our backyard burst out all over in bright red berries. The beech trees behind it, yet to be touched by bronze...

TAKE INTERMITTENT EIGHT

The year is disappearing. Fast.

TAKE INTERMITTENT; SEVEN

Sigh... hopeless, right? Only a week late to post an intermittent. 

I wish I could tell you this was from the Supermoon event... but no. It's from last year - but it was September. So only a year late on this count...
