Windy and Wet

19 Comments

Over the last couple of days it was intermittently windy and raining.

The gulls were huddling near the shore; it wasn’t a great day for flying.
And although it was very grey, this was offset by some great autumn colours.
Orange, red and yellow leaf litter.
A red lace maple next to a green autumn rhododendron.
A transitioning maple tree.
A view from our deck, pretty nice despite the rain and overcast.
And last but not least, another lace maple with its gorgeous fire engine red fronds.

Happy Wednesday.

Still Sailing

16 Comments

Some stormy weather has been passing through our area, but in between these events the temperatures and weather have been good, so good that there’s still lots of sailing happening.

The marina remains open year-round as many people still sail regardless of colder conditions, something I would probably also do if I owned a sailboat.

There’s usually something very attractive about sailboats on blue water, no matter the season.

Happy Monday.
