It's a Winter Wonderland!

I can't actually remember the last time we went out on the boat, never mind the last time we went out and had a successful tour!

Last week the weather basically consisted of a lot of rain and a lot of wind, the worst conditions possible expect for a volcanic eruption really.

But yesterday and today we have had some excellent snow! And we've been truly making the most of it!

Yesterday was the annual tradition of the company I work for (Elding) where they go to a local school and bake hundreds of cookies to give as Christmas gifts to the many hotels and businesses that promote Elding Whale Watching. It was a night of many Christmas songs (Gleðileg Jól!) and lots of delicious baking (we may have tasted a few). And afterwards after a lot of snow had fallen we all had a snowball fight, as mature adults do!

And today even more snow had fallen! So I went for a bit of a walk and got some nice pictures of the city in the snow and some of the bird life attempting to cope with it all!

Our home in the snow!

A few redwings taunted me as I tried to catch the perfect shot.

But I'm sure I won this round, gotcha!

Just lovely!

The Reykjavik city pond is named Tjörnin. The ice is always pretty!

Day 27, the pigeons still think I'm one of them... Diary of a mallard.

Two pink-footed geese having a stand off on the ice. Loser is doomed to swim!

Female pigeons are much prettier than the males!

The weather looks like it may improve over the next few days so we can only hope!

Thanks for reading!
