Signs of Autumn

It has been cooler over the last few days, with highs around 20C (68F) or so. It has been a nice break from months of high temperatures. But there’s been some wind, too, and it has a decidedly autumnal feel to it. There were even wind-driven whitecaps on the lake.

Temperatures are supposed to go back to 29-30C (84-86F) by Thursday or Friday and those might be our last warm days before the descent into autumn.

Although it was cooler and the wind was definitely brisk, there were a few people still taking pleasure from the beach. Seated in lawn chairs and wearing light jackets, the weather wasn’t going to stop them from enjoying the views over the lake.

Happy Wednesday.

Daisy Deer

We recently saw this mule deer when we were hiking in a provincial park.

She looked up from whatever yummy plant she was eating, waggled her ears, posed, let me take a picture and then went right back to her lunch.

She looked so beautiful and unconcerned as she stood among the daisies, feeling comfortable that no harm would come to her.

Happy Monday.
