From Our Living Room Window

Might be why you don't have much hardwood on the island .
Never gets real cold

 

And never gets really hot!?

 

Goldilocks island,
"Not to hot -- Not to cold"
The perfect place to live.
And you get to cut free firewood

 

We're getting just a little bit of snow falling , the snow has consistency of very small Styrofoam balls. What causes this type of snow?

 

Called "Graupel"
AKA "snow pellets"

Good info!

 

This does not happen all that often , so no picture it did not happen!

 

Big flakes
It'll quit soon

 

It was sunny earlier in the day and Woodwidow had cloths on the line .Has turned to rain now .

 

Beautiful view, love the water too..

 

There was a fourth one just out of the picture !

 

Very cool to see deer.
What other wildlife is on the island?
Looks warm .

 

Early morning 2 days ago. The star burst of mono filament fishing line is to protect our Rat Terriers from Eagle attacks.
I know - no pictures of eagles, they don't exist.
In most instances the fishing line is not visible.



This morning early , there's a forest fire about 30 miles to the south east and the smoke is drifting towards the main land.
fog is starting to form over the water.
About 3 minutes difference in time between this picture and the previous shot.

 

Sunset Tonight!

 

Thanks for the pics Allan. I'll bet you and your honey miss very few of these sights. Really nice.

 

I too had missed this thread Allen, beautiful view. Best to you both.

 

There is so much going on here all the time it is hard to keep up!

 

That's a true statement. I'm still amazed how the respect and courtesy runs so deep on here, just a down right good bunch of folks hangin round here.

 

Yup...
