It's felt like this all week down here in the West Country. Water everywhere, low grey skies, and both seemed to stretch out endlessly.

This is in fact the Ceredigion coast taken a couple of summers ago. Nevertheless it feels apt.

I cut these red roses the other night and brought them in before the big freeze arrived. They keep opening bigger, and the afternoon sun hits them, and the whole place fills with their fragrance. 🌱 #FlowerReport from VA #Bloomscrolling #RoseWednesday

I am on my way home to Toronto and the aurorae are absolutely phenomenal.

If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

the cormorant doesn't have
so much oil in its wings
as other sea birds do
this allows them to dive
far deeper for their food
that's why you see them
drying out their wings
we have an outcrop
near to us that allows
all six to dry themselves
like little angels standing
there in silhouette

Germany to hunt Russian submarines from Norway

The goal is to prevent Russian submarines from going undetected into the Atlantic.

Norway already has five P-8A Poseidon stationed at Evenes. Now they will be joined by five German ones.

My owner had a cold. But what can I expect from her when she goes out into the cold every morning? In the evening, I'll snuggle up to her and try to cure her with my purring. Until then, I'll practice therapeutic rest, because a cat can only heal others when it is well rested.🐈

Doing a loop in Silver Lake, and Ivanhoe Reservoir is looking nicely van Gogh-esque this morning, a kind of daylight version of "The Starry Night."
