Sixty billion ...

... and eleventeen photos I took today and while some would have been perfectly acceptable as Blips, I could not make a decision. Grrr. One of those days with too much overthinking and - I'm not sure of the correct English term - being a bother to myself (?)
While making dinner I had a brainwave which I credit entirely to the potatoes au gratin; long exposure.

My long-suffering Beloved took me over to Maple Lake after dinner where I spend an hour being cold and happy with a tripod and remote shutter. And deciding on which photo to use took me all of two minutes.
Ah, I love happy endings :)
