Drove down the Blackwater valley from Fermoy this afternoon. The frost on the trees was amazing. Sadly no safe parking areas for taking pictures.
Took these in Lismore for the effect.

These two are pinched as well. Belvelly Castle on Great Island, Co. Cork. The new owner does this every year and they are stunning. Can’t post the videos sadly.

I can see similar from my house Caernarfon, low light pollution. I'm no good at stars though - can I see Jupiter and the Seven Sisters in your pictures?

Walking into work on a chilly morning, downtown Houston, big freeze supposed to be arriving overnight, let's see what tomorrow brings

a beautiful winters day yesterday in Houston, about 19C, no wind and a good walk brought these pictures

Following on from above, I've never seen this type of bird before and it was rather large, so do the BFC bird lovers know what it is?

Google Lens says that it's a red shouldered hawk. Threw me for ages as they're not indigenous to the UK but I think you're in the USA, where they do exist

Thank you so much, yes, Houston, USA obviously

I've no idea about birds except for a few obvious one, it was quite big and I have walked in this park for years and never seen anything like it, it was impressive though.

Having lunch and Mrs BC spotted this little lass foraging outside our French Doors from the kitchen ... Little Jenny Wren having a good old insect hunt

Phone not the best tool for photos like this, but not a bad enlargement
