The Search continues

 I could not see the forest



for the trees ...








The search goes on with 20:24 vision:





I pause to remember Barry who was red-colour blind but could pick the ripest strawberries because they had the right colour of mud!  (And he would have taken the "U" out of colour!)

The Search for Red October

 What a wonderful life, with friends, with clean air and water:



Colour tucked in - behind - everywhere:




All will be revealed, and the leaves came tumbling down -



Down to the sea -


A ragged end to this search - WOB

Coming and Going in October

 Sehr schön,



Glatt wie ein Spiegel



Und auf dem Ruckweg



Immer noch  alles im Grün Bereich (6Km schon, noch 1Km; bitte, ein Bit!, Ferdi!)

20°C bis 22°C, Wasser etwa 14°C

We returned to the scene

 And several groups of coyote greeted us.

So we did the social thing and howled back.


Here we are embracing the Moon -









And we were rewarded with all of us seeing the comet and its tail even though the Moon was very bright, very near full Hunter's Moon:





And the coyote stopped singing and so did we.

Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS

 On the western edge of Orillia


there is a height of land 


covered with solar cells,


except for a parking spot where we 3 saw or imagined to see


Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS:

 






 And as a bonus for lucky Peter J, we heard coyote singing - and getting closer to us as though we were chocolate-filled Easter rabbits!


So who is wobbily now?

Clear as mud: the difference between day and night

 So we had to go out for the fire drill:

 


 

And this morning, around 6AM this was our reward:

 


 There were many streamers and curtains. This is a red one seen toward the North-east at the edge of our "world", where the building meets the sky, if you know what I mean. If you come from away.

Peter used his hand-held "handy" and got better results than I have so far managed.

Chirality

 The left-handed amino acids  in me, are also in my left hand as well as my right.


And there are similar chiral amino acids in these 2 Trumpeter swans:




I see a survival advantage - they are each looking past their partner for danger, putting the other one first.

I wondered about a cloud that floated in the West

 Just a little colour and an aside from the usual:
