Normally I wouldn’t write a headline about the weather, but right now that’s what is on top of my mind. We had some rainy days — yesterday started out overcast, looking like it would start to rain again any time. Went out to the shopping mall, spent some time in there and when we got out it was like if someone had thrown a wet, hot blanket over us. The sun was shining, and the mugginess was something I’d never experienced before.
In the evening we just couldn’t stay inside this apartment so we took the ferry up to the
Kingston peninsula. With the A/C on in the car and the nice ferry ride, all was pleasant … until I stepped out of the car beside a bog, where I saw that
Osprey earlier this summer.
Getting out, outside the car, was brutal. All was still …. perfectly calm … and HOT. The frogs were croaking, that was the only sound.
The tower where the Osprey had its nest had fallen. I don’t know if it was the weight of the nest or some storm … it was just broken down.
The rain commenced on our way back. Quite the downpour, but it didn’t help. The mugginess remained. Today wasn’t much better.
My husband had an early Dr:s appointment. When he came back home and opened up the local paper, the first thing he saw was the very same Dr. he’d just seen. There was a reportage about his work in Africa as a plastic surgeon.
Went down to the
Reversing Falls. The tide was coming in and I was hoping to get some good shots of the
harbor seals that quite often come in with the tide. They were too far off, unfortunately. Instead I practiced a little with taking photos of the cormorants coming in for landing. They looks so funny when they land.
This turned out like a diary, but I just felt like writing to take my thoughts off the fact that I’m sweating profusedly and it’s 10 o’ clock in the evening PLUS the fact that the summer has just started!!!
