+30 to 0, BUT IT'S +5?!?

A week ago it was +30C with boaty sunsets. But the R&R was over on tranquil Isla, til next time. Back to the mainland --- but by old ferry or fast ferry or sci-fi new ferry? Hmmm...




Even after hundreds of flights I'm still fascinated by the action on the tarmac. The Cancun strip comes into view on takeoff. Lucky break --- Isla off the port window! The bad news is you can see the buildup. But can you also see why they call this island fish-shaped?




Back at The View the leaves were so thick that the car couldn't get traction up the hill. Red was the colour de jour but the walkway was lined with other colours, like a box of dull crayons.




Sorry to mix species in a metaphor, but my longtime nemesis --- the seed-gobbling turkeys --- were finally the straw that broke the camel's back. The base of the feeder has been rejigged for harder access to Big Bird. In the basement, the winter trapline has been set for those other bottom feeders.




The weather has gone to the other extreme: zero C, dismal clouds with flurries, and short dark days.
All the better to be brightened by memories of +5, as in years ago...
