19C feeling(?) like 29C

I have to appologize to Merry Christmas - of course it should read -19C feeling like -29C. I should not be so lazy. Not everybody has a "feel" for windchill. The wind is 20kmh gusting to 35kmh. A "green flash" caught my I and I had to see what was up. A T-shirt is not adequate, even for a Canadian when the Nor'-west wind doth blow. So I didn't take so many photos, probably too many for those of you in Florida, Texas or Mexico. Incidently, it would be interesting if Mexico were to build a wall for Trump - say for the Mexico prior to Antonio López de Santa Anna taking office.

Anyway, back to the "green flash".

Shall we talk about wind chill?   Or just let our teeth chatter:

The background is fuzzy, actually snowy, because the strong gusts have lifted a lot of snow from the lake in order to dump it in Buffalo or Ottawa or some place in between, as in "the land between".   If you can, watch the TVO series.

Now the snow is up and away!

I understand that Florida received some snow from US today.
Snowbirds?

A couple of redwing blackbirds - stealth bombers?

It is currently -15C,  sunny, but oh so windy

So let me dream a lttle about the past when the world was young and dynamic:

Is there not a sensible tension in the dynamic? I would love to be able to "sail" away

But all good things must end -

(14 as in 14 feet => 4.2m )

On the shores of Lake Mariposa, sigh,

Go Fly A Kite!

It is raining today at plus too much. So I thought I would go back to a fine January day when all was right in the world.

Let us fly away and leave our troubles behind us - wagging their tails as it were, although this kite does not have an obvious tail.

How is that for a frosty sunny Sunday? Can you see the shadow of the kite? I am trying to portray a 3-D event on a 2-D screen.

All the best,
