New Year

As for almost everybody else, yesterday was cancelled - new  year starts today. Anyway, the weather yesterday was horrible. Today was sunny and cold but it was nice to be out with Sadie. We both enjoyed the walk.

We hadn't gone that far when I spotted this deer in a field.

I've seen waves somewhere before recently

 

Sadie left her mark

and here she is, but not last because...

From top left to bottom right Mars, crescent Moon and Venus. It has been fairly heavily processed to bring fainter stuff to visibility, hence the rather weird background shade. The sky was very clear. I very nearly missed Venus, it is quite hard to frame darkness through the viewfinder.
