#Celtic#FolkloreSunday: In the #Scottish highlands holly and gorse were sacred trees of the #Cailleach Bheur, a blue hag, who was associated with #winter and the protection of animals during the season. She was reborn every All Hallows Eve and brought back the winter weather with her magical staff, which froze the ground with every tap. On Beltane Eve she returned to the Earth, throwing her staff beneath a gorse bush before turning to stone.

Hey friends! Okay, this one was tough! I really moved around A LOT yesterday to get this shot right. If you would have told me before, I wouldn't have believed that I would struggle so hard in finding THE spot for this shot.
But in the end, I'm quite happy with it now. I will return to this spot, that's sure. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed it taking (in <-16°C) and processing 😉
The problem with having leaf guards on your rain guttering, is that the snow tends to build up on them and you end up with an icicle problem when it all starts to melt. 😬 #today #gardening #allotment #NewEngland #winter #snow
Wir haben heute die erforderliche #Netzreserve für den kommenden #Winter bestätigt. Die Reserve verhindert Überlastungen im Übertragungsnetz. Der Reservebedarf fällt niedriger aus, weil einzelne Netzausbauprojekte fertiggestellt wurden ➡️ https://www.bnetza.de/1012728
I hate it when it’s dark when I leave work. The winter solstice won’t be here for 2 months and alreadyI’m dreading it. The lack of daylight really gets me. I need more grow lights #winter
