This is a photo taken from the (ancient, unusable) boat ramp on the west side of Lake Ella; usually, the water line is up at that darker edge of gravel. There are small sandbars appearing out in the lake itself, which I've rarely seen happen. Given that the whole pond...
Today's big chore was to get to Publix by 9:30 am for my flu shot. Since I'm uninsured, it cost me $57.00, which I can afford but I think is actually horrific. How many people who WILL catch the flu are avoiding this vaccine because of money!?!?!? How damaging is it...
It was 55°F out, so I did need my hoodie and half-gloves, even though I put off the walk until 8:00 am. It was absolutely gorgeous out, though, and Keely very much wanted to keep walking forever. In fact, after I ran a short local errand later, she bum-rushed the...
Mixed blessings on this morning's walk: it was only 58°F but it was also nearly 90% humidity, soooo...cool, but a touch clammy. :/ Took this shot at the corner of Duval and 7th, facing east (obviously). Just really liked the lighting and the trees. Went by the old...
Another muggy morning, but clear-skied for a while. We finally got a substantial downpour last night, but nowhere near enough. Hurricane Ian sucked up a lot of weather so we have not had a rainstorm in these parts since several days before Ian became an issue. It was...
What an incredibly mood and moist morning we are having! Yes it was that foggy. It was so foggy that instead of being rained on I was, instead, walking through water droplets as they formed and before they fell. Not quite misty, more like matrix. LOL! Keely was not...
What an absolutely gorgeous morning for a walk! Keely herded me out the door with purpose after I slept in until 7:00 am. Fortunately we're well out of summer so sleeping in doesn't mean walking through hell. It was about 55°F and while humidity was still 89% or so,...
Another glorious fall day in North Florida: That was taken facing west-north-west from the Lake Ella gazebo, toward the cottages. The walk around the pond was busier this morning than usual, I guess not too surprising given the weather. It was still over 80% humidity...
Truly glorious weather this morning, 58°F and only 75% humidity! I had to wear a hoodie; it's officially autumn!!!! In other news, someone saw their chance and took it: I expect the sign to be replaced any minute now! LOL! Our walk this morning was a mundane one...
