And now it's winter!

Surprise, surprise! It's winter!!

I thought it looked extra dark when I got up this morning...

...then I noticed it was sleeting...

...and then moments later proper snow was falling.

It's still snowing now, 2 hours after I took these photos!

We certainly didn't expect that! 
I was wearing a t-shirt yesterday - today it's on with the winter jumper.

My Yin Yang mobile!

At last it is up and running!

Have you noticed that the traditional Yin Yang symbol is very flat, simply 2 dimensional?

The symbol itself has been around for thousands of years and it could really benefit by being given a more up-to-date, 3D image. As there doesn't seem to be any out there in the world already, I decided to make one.

As I researched this, I found some videos which purport to be 3D Yin Yang images on YouTube but these were all computer generated and you can only see them on a monitor or TV, not actually have them in your garden.

As it spins it creates a true 3D effect.
