louisa_ :)<p>Every other year, our village (<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Slaithwaite" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Slaithwaite</span></a>) has a community event called Moonraking.</p><p>Once upon a time, local smugglers used the canal to hide their stash - and when they were caught trying to haul it out again, they pretend to be simpletons, raking the moon out of the water. (This may not be 100% true.)</p><p>I&#39;m volunteering at some of the public lantern making workshops later this month, so spent the day yesterday working on my own creation to remind myself of the tricks. Fun!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/huddersfield" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>huddersfield</span></a></p>

louisa_ :)<p>It&#39;s still rather snowy up here. I think today is the first day since Sunday that we&#39;ve not had a top-up.</p><p>Our drive has been blocked since the weekend, and the road snowy, then super icy. We can get out on foot but aren&#39;t going further than dog walks. We went down a farm track yesterday where the snow was about a metre deep: it took us ages to walk it because we were laughing the whole way.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slaithwaite" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>slaithwaite</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Yorkshire" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Yorkshire</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/snow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>snow</span></a></p>
John Leach<p>Photography is pretty easy. All you need is an alright camera, a good vantage point and a beautiful universe. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/colnevalley" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>colnevalley</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slaithwaite" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>slaithwaite</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cloudinversion" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cloudinversion</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sunset" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sunset</span></a></p>
louisa_ :)<p>There has been amazing cloud inversions around Huddersfield today.</p><p>The first two pictures are Scammonden Reservoir; the second, views over the Colne Valley (and out into the distance towards Emley Moor).</p><p>Gorgeous day!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/huddersfield" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>huddersfield</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ColneValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ColneValley</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slaithwaite" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>slaithwaite</span></a></p>

A long awaited day finally came: Rosey Bean's first visit to the puppy play session! (At Dragonfly in .)

There were 7 dogs, aged from 13 to ~20 weeks, but sized from cavapoo (ish) to Great Dane. Rosey was super excited when she first arrived - chasing all the bigger dogs! - but with a bit of encouragement, she calmed down a bit after that.

It was delightful, watching them all play together. Can't wait to go back!

At the start of the year, I took a stained glass class at Globe Arts in .

My first project was a gannet, inspired by the ones that flew alongside our boat in Shetland in April. I love the watery texture in the blue - very much like the seas up there. Tilda seems to approve too!

I didn't have much time for my second piece so went for something with more straight lines. I didn't realise until I brought it home that I'd done the burger piece upside down 🤦‍♀️ Still: fun!

We've been "snowed in" for a few days (we could get out on foot but not in the car). In addition to the general (25cm) blanket of snow, there were many drifts that were 60cm+. Many snowy stomps have been taken, snow angels made and snowballs thrown at each others' heads.

Then today it was 11°C & sunny and suddenly nearly all the snow went away. Today's walk featured brand new rivers & lakes to navigate. Fun!

I do love it when familiar landscapes are temporarily made new.
