What I do to capture a photo

I had a very busy day ahead of me, but took my life in my hands to catch this blip of the ice melting on the trees first thing this morning ...

A bit of hyperbole there, but the flagstones making up the path in the back garden were soooo .. slippy due to the gunge collecting on them recently and the grass was like a swamp sucking my feet under. As I said a bit of embelishment on the story, but I'm sure you get the picture!
