Apricity

It was a beautiful frosty morning but you had to get moving a bit faster than I did to really take advantage of it. This seagull was enjoying a bit of apricity - the warmth given by a winter sun. There were quite a few exercisers out so I tried to keep a decent walking pace up but my back/hip/leg issue wasn’t appreciating the cold so I think I probably need a bit of advice from the chiropractor- wondering if I can shed some pounds before going!

Weather: freezing but not as bad as Braemar with its -29*C
Covid: lockdown feeling like a long time this time but the overall picture here is improving.
Good thing: a zoom crafternoon - nice to see cheery faces.
Nice, all I could feel was a freezing cold wind!

Get you with your posh word. It was nice to feel some sun today though. I'm with this seagull and the lovely light.

Sounds like a good day all round, and for the seagull as well - apart from the back/leg/hip issue. Good luck with that.

@fueast I’ve got a thing about weather words - hoping to get some more in!

I learnt a new word. Thanks! I enjoyed a bit apricity on my walk today. Like a day with a bit of apricity in it. The best kind of winter days have some apricity. Not sure if grammatically correct. ( Can't do 8yr olds grammar lessons!! I was from the generation not taught grammar.) I do love the word though :)

Love that gull basking! It's hard to be on time for the most beautiful pictures, but I think this one works all the time.

Learnt a new word today!
Sounds like you've made an appointment then....hope he/she can fix you up. Losing weight, oh dear I do hope when the warmer weather comes I will be able to wean myself off chocolate. The seagull is hoping to hitch a ride but I presume the punts are closed, no takers & can’t be two metres apart. Very sad,

Ha! There is a word for that!?! Now, if only the sun would break through so I could enjoy some of that apricity!

Wasn’t as cold actually as I was anticipating! ~
What a great shot of this gull in the parked up punts.

Love the word as well

Love everything about this! The colors, the composition. Fav!

That's a word I've never heard of before

Excellent new word - and I usually know quite a few! R number coming well down now - is a chink in my malaise.

Fabulous shot! Apricity illustrated. Hoping the chiropractor can offer some relief for your back, hip, leg issue! I can relate to the weight loss issues. I've been trying to talk myself into getting serious about sticking with a fitness plan. So far myself is slow to get on board.
