It's snowing again here on the outer Cape and temps are going down into the teens tonight. So here is another winter photo from our time in the Netherlands - a walk in our neighborhood during the unusual snow. seagrass

New bamboo planking. We found the radiant heat piping runs "under" the shelving on the left side, an error on the part of the builder. On the right side it's out from under,. We left the bottom shelf off, it used to sit ON the floor, so NOW...... heat can circulate, heating the room! ☺ It will be more efficient! Yay! (we didn't know this before we ripped the carpet out)

Optical illusion - mine, anyway! I took photos as we were approaching the island of Santorini and a thin white line on the cliffs looked to my northern eyes like snow. As we got closer, of course I could see the line was the many white buildings on the island

Record high temperatures in recent years. Causing record high evaporation from bodies of water. That cause their own storms of increasing intensity. Including newly developed lightning that sets more fires. Burning thousands of square miles of forest, increasing almost every year, including parts or all of a number of towns, even cities. Every tree that used to take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen ... ... now using oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. Mother nature telling heedless humans who think they can live as they please without major consequences ... "As creatures, you need to learn from me, but you don't make all the rules, and when you mess with me, sometimes you do it at your peril!!". Mankind - becoming an endangered species - largely by their own hands! ole (learning participant) joyful
