I got out and used my camera today...

Great shot of the bird. I often wonder if they see their reflection as another bird.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Perfect reflection dileep.

What are you doing in Raleigh? It's where I am! And last night wasn't as cold as the night before when it was 9. Brr.

Business trip. Wednesday felt quite nice after the Tuesday's deep freeze!

 

This morning sunrise outside the Brier Creek Embassy Suites was nice too! Flying home to sunny & warm San Diego today!

That is warm compared to what we had.

Monday night was -5 and Tuesday night was -14 and we had wind chills of -38. High on Tuesday was 2.

Love the little Poinsettias in front of the window.

The boots -- not so much.

Thanks - the top ones are rainbow lorikeets and the bottom one is a brush turkey on someone's terrace

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thank you!!

Ten miles away...hope it is just brush!

Hope you don't have a major fire like north of LA.

We were watching the news this morning and it looks very bad up there.

[pierces]

That is the one. The winds have made it far worse today.

I sure hope the fires don't get to you! From watching the news here in the midwest over the years one could get the impression that California is in a constant state of burning.

Five homes and a few out-buildings. Could have been a whole lot worse as the housing backs right up to the hills. If the wind changed, it could easily have been 500 instead of five.

 

We're pretty far from any significant fuel source, so we have never been threatened by anything other than heavy ashfall. Everybody thinks I'm kidding when I say that we have four seasons...Spring, summer, still summer and fire!

 

And when we aren't burning or shaking, our legislature takes over as our resident natural disaster....
