Unexpected New Year delights in Scotland 🏴
Are you back in the groove, back into the swing of things?
This is the first full week of the New Year all wrapped up, and I am now feeling like we are on our way.
I have no idea where we are on your way to, but we sure are as hell are on our way somewhere. That is aomething which I have not said for the last couple of years, so progress I think is on the way😄
The weather is still a bit odd at the moment. Feels more like than Autumn than it does Winter, but complain I shall not! Take today for example it was rain sun rainbows all jumbled up! The variety weather pack.
I want to start to immortalise a few more things to the blockchain ... you know the deal, new year ... new year's resolutions ...
Some of you might remember that I gotmyself a new toy 📷 last year, and I must admit that I do love flexing it from time to time.
Are you keeping fit and mobile?
Working off all those festive goodies that were consumed all too eagerly without pausing to think of the consequences?
I do make a habit of going out on the first, and this year was a walk up to our local park to feed the birds. Mrs T sometimes gets peeved when I take the camera as she knows it will be a stop start stop stop start kind of walk as I take the pictures whilst doing my Dr Doolittle bit🤣
It is typical though, if I don't take the camera, then that is when you see the unexpected things.
I remember before Christmas, we went through the park to Aldi to get some messages...
Fair enough thought I, no need for the camera!
What did we see?
I'll tell you what we fluffing saw!
Lots and lots about 30-40 oystercatchers on the football field. Of course we do get them down the beach a mile a way, but a flock that size inland at the park, I have never seen that. The camera of course was at home🤣
I digress!
Why change the habit of a lifetime I hear you ask..
Okay back to the park and walking and feeding the aquatic birds, then going to the monumental garden.
Taking another snap or three!
This is what we saw 👇👇👇
Oh that's pretty I can hear you say, but what the fluff is such an Unexpected New Year delight about that picture?
You see the hedge at the bottom, well go up a bit and look into the blue sky, do you see a roundy shape?
How about now, can you see something?
Yes the moon, here we are on a gorgeous winter's afternoon, with a gorgeous blue sky and the moon was coming to say Happy New Year!
I never take the tripod unless I am on my own, imagine the look on Mrs T's face if I spent more time fiddling around with a tripod! haha am not even going there.
Well I do wonder how much better my moon shots or any shots that I used the telezoom on would be, for that matter.
And now we have the last shot showing the daytime moon in all her glory.
It really does blow my mind, the detail that we have. I mean think for one second, just how far that is away.
You know I actually have not got a clue how my miles or kilometers or thousands I presume it is away from earth!
So there we have it, that was how we had some Unexpected New Year delights in Scotland 🏴
What about you?
Did you find any Unexpected New Year delights?
Thanks for visiting and Happy New Year
Actually before I go, I was curious of how many use twitter?
If you do, feel free to leave your twitter handle in the comments, mine is TengoLoTodo
One other thing, since we are on the subject of microblogging, do you use threads in LeoFinance? You can post like twitter on any subject, not just finance etc.
If you do and are a Silver Blogger then why not use the #silverbloggers tag, and you never know it, but you may be in for a surprise or two!
Mum's the word though 🤐
Let's make 2023 to grow the whole Hive blockchain!

My new phone, Galaxy Note 22 Ultra Plus has a fantastic camera and I've seen many posting online their photos, but so far haven't gotten a good moon shot.
I'm @wandrnros7 on Twitter, too.
I had no idea you can microblog on Leo Finance. I'll need to explore there.
!LUV
Oh you have that phone, I keep wondering if it really is as good as it appears, the cameras really do seem appealing!
Yeah the threads are cool and you could post your AI pics there like you do in twitter🦁
It's a great phone and photos are awesome. Pretty pricey, though. Yes, I need to share my AI art here, too. I get free credits on Night Café sharing from their app so if I'm on it, I share, and I incorporate many into freewrites. I keep telling myself i'm going to make a nice post for the AI community, but time runs out in a day.
Yes I know it is expensive which I was curious to ee how people like it!
Oh ok, not heard of that app, I just use the one in discord from ausbitbank as it is a Hivian.
Yeah would be cool seeing an AI post though!
I use the one in Discord and I was introduced to another today in Discord that is also free called Blue Willow. It makes some cool art.
https://discord.gg/bluewillow
oh cool, thanks for that, I shall check it out :)
Oh the moon 🌝! It's been a while I haven't seen one either in picture or reality. Is seldom go out at night and could hardly be seen too!
Well, I will try so go out once I go home in this weekend
Oh you are going home again this weekend?
Then yes say hello to the moon, and get some fresh air na
Actually I am not yet sure 🤣
ah well, if you do then you do!
Hell yeah!! I don't even know where I'm heading right now but I'm still making a progress here so, slowly but surely, yiehhh. Hehehe.
And that's a beautiful Moon in the day. I often see something like that here but sadly, I can only see them but not this close. When I tried to zoom in it on my phone I can only get a blurry one haha.
Slowly but surely is the way to do it Ruffa!
Yeah unless you have an expensive phone with a brilliant camera the moon is not clear like this with a zoom on a camera,,,

Hello hello, Super Ed!
You're hilarious and I was planning to follow your steps this year haha so we'll see where we get to 🤣🤣.
I understand Mrs. T with you and the camera LOL for years I lived the same with hubby and his video camera, and he did carry a tripod, and even sometimes he dare to do time-lapses. But now things have changed, he doesn't do so many videos and I'm the one taking the photos, 😂 and he is the one who gets desperate. A sweet revenge. I should give Mrs. T some advice 🤣🤣.
Cheers to many unexpected delights this year 🌀
hehe yes Super Eli who knows where we are going, but I like your top that you are following me in, well the top you were in yesterday, and that reminds me I forget to comment on C's burger! Darn it looked delicious.
hehe yes of course you will know the feeling but yes you get your own back now hehe and live in the now so enjoy it hehe
Yes here is to many unexpected delights this year 💙🌀
I'm following, so sail the boat, Super Ed!
C's burger was superb 😋
I've seen you have the show tomorrow, woohoo!!
Have a Super duper week.!
do
hehe now that is a brilliant one!
Yes no idea what the show will be about tomorrow!
Have a great evening Super Eli😁
You captured the moon beautiful even from afar
Thank you so much shula, I think it is beautiful indeed.
Those day moon shots are fa-bu-lous. I do love it when she shows off during the day.
PS I quite understand the camera-Mrs T conundrum 😹😹
Yeah daytime moon is gorgeous, and thank you 😎
hehe yeah I think the conundrum is known to many people🤣
You took that moon shot free hands? Impressive!
Out of curiosity, what camera / lens did you use?
Uhuh free hand shot and danke!
The camera is a Canon Powershot HS70 bridge camera, so there is only one lens with a crazy 1300mm zoom!
I see the moon the moon sees me.
God bless the moon God bless us
I love your new year's delight, Happy new year Mr. T.
My Twitter handle is @Rammybabans
aww I love that!
Thank you and I have you on twitter now!
What is your duolingo language you are learning ?
Thank you,
And yeah I can see you on Twitter already. I'm learning Spanish on Duolingo and it has been fun.
ah yes Spanish is a fun language to learn😁
There are also many Spanish speakers here.
You are right, in fact, I started learning because of how they pride their language, making posts in their languages are fun to me and I want to be able to interact in Spanish with them soon.
That is so true, and there is a Spanish show in Ecency discord if you get brave you can listen and they have great accents in there!
Thank you, I think I might just check them out.
Monday nights, and they have a fun channel in the ecency discord too!
Alright, I'm taking note of this.
I also like to think that we are going somewhere Tito Ed. And I kind of imagined the look on Mrs T's face while looking at you take snaps of things along the way. She might get used to it though :)
Thank goodness you got your camera on that walk and you're able to take those beautiful shots of the moon and the gorgeous sky! We did find some delights on the new year and will be sharing a few soon.
And do I smell something cooking Tito Ed with the Twitter and Threads thingy? I shall keep my ears open, lol!
Kidding aside, I wish you a fantastic new week!
!LUV
hehe she is used to it, and is usually okay with it, just if it is raining or too cold, it can be a pain in the arse standing around and not keeping moving!
Oh good to know we shall be seeing your delights CJ :)
There might be something cooking with threads hehe
Speaking of which, I see hive engine is down again. I shall be threading soon though!
I'm sure she's fascinated watching you flickering with your camera. I hope you are taking photos of her too hehe.
Yes, HE was down for sometime. It's working well now I think. Excited to see what's on for threads😅
HE I was going who is HE but hehe Hive-Engine🤣
I was going to say squire ... you tell us CJ😄

I love photos of the moon and I am slowly getting back into the swing of things. It's a strange thing here as it can take most of January for most businesses to comeback after the "Christmas break" but I am looking forward to what this year brings.
Actually the same here, often January is a write off month while companies get back into it and budgets for the year get approved!
I am slowly getting shifts again but it's still a struggle.
That is so true! That always - always - ends up being the one time it is absolutely needed. And cellphone cameras don't always cut it. Case in point are all the fuzzy and blurry UFO pictures and videos taken with cellphones! If one had a proper camera with them, there'd be no doubt!
Exactly and it is almost to the point I would rather not have my phone as well of I don't have my camera, as you say the pics are fuzzy and blurry and worse than no picture at all!
I had to laugh when I read this. My wife complains at me for stopping and taking pics on any walk as well - I share your pain !!! However, we must take photos or we'll have nothing to post about - keep on going !

I can relate to this experience more than you know. I can't help but tune out that I left the camera at home. Each time I do, I oughta tick it as one more reason to take it everywhere. At least something to shoot with, something to write on.
