I enjoy noticing reflections and trying to find a balanced composition. Rather liked the colours here. It was Lister Park's lake, on my last visit, quite a while ago now (when the trees still had leaves!)
I'm going stir-crazy being confined to home. Since it snowed last weekend it has barely got above freezing so there is sheet ice everywhere, on the side roads and pavements (though the main routes have been gritted). I can't get the car out as our drive slopes uphill and is icy. I've been reluctant to go out on foot in case of a fall. Our NHS is in a bad way. They've been on a shaky footing since Covid and now there's a winter flu surge. Ambulances, hospitals and Emergency Departments are struggling so, if you do have an accident, the prospect is a long wait for an ambulance (even if you're lying in the snow!) and then an hours long or even days long wait in A&E. So the best option is not to take risks, I feel!
It certainly is wise not to run any unnecessary risks, so if you don't absolutely HAVE to go out in these conditions, it is better to stick it out at home. (Although I know what you mean about getting stir-crazy - I love and need my walks, and when I can't go walking for two days in a row, I get restless.)
ReplyDeleteThe reflection in your photo is stunning, and the colors really bring the scene to life. I can understand how frustrating it must be to be stuck indoors, especially with such icy conditions. Stay safe and warm—hopefully, the weather will improve soon! I just shared a new post; let me know what you think. Have a lovely weekend ahead!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat, er situation. Here it's called cabin fever, I guess because mountain people traditionally lived in cabins. It's due to be above freezing by noon today, so respite is on the way!
ReplyDeleteStay in and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteBest to stay in. I had a fall at new Years that I'm just recovering from.
