I think Winter is still here......


Yes, we were just out again in our hopes of getting a decent sunset today were nice and fruitful. Not the blazing summer end of daylight we are used to seeing in San Francisco, or even the more fiery atardeces we have seen in the Bay of Cadiz, southern Spain in the past, but after two months of below freezing temperatures HERE, and on/off snow storms, we are happy with what we can see. Of course, it was cold and that stiff wind didn't help at all. It was 14°f/-10°c with a colder windchill factor of -2°f/-19°c with 16 mph winds blowing straight into our faces from the west, right off the slow moving waters of the upper Niagara River, and over the other half of the river which still has a frozen ice-cap after all these weeks!

Where do you go or do when Winter's last freezing breath is still blowing hard? It doesn't matter the weather nor temperatures, we still head out!!
