Serious Rain
“Blatter”
Fans of the Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy will be familiar with the lorry-driving rain god and his 92 words for types of rain constantly poured on his head by all the clouds that simply “wanted to water him”. This was the rain type known as heavy blatter.
Quite something.

Black Gray Squirrel on White
Looking like a White Christmas
Snowing today and this should stay until Christmas – meanwhile this little guy came to the heated bird bath for a good drink.
For our Euro friends, this black squirrel is actually a gray squirrel. They also come in cream.

Ice Petticoats
Getting Colder
Temperatures along the riverside have been up and, mostly, down for a while now. The river has yet to become cold enough to freeze over, but already ice is forming in the splash zone. Lace petticoats on the rocks.

Serendipity
Birch Bark with Rowan Berries in the Rain
It’s showery here this Thanksgiving Monday and looking out of the window, as one does, i was struck by the combination of birch tree trunks and golden birch leaves forming a backdrop to a berry-rich rowan tree that has begun to lose it’s leaves, thus revealing the birch. A gorgeous combination – made all the richer in the subdued light of a rainy day – sunshine rarely makes for the best photographs.
BUT – see the picture below.

BUT THEN …
… an hour later the sun appeared and the leaves were lit, seemingly from within. I still prefer the original in the more diffuse lighting as I find this a bit “chocolate-boxy” but what do you think?

Cold morning sunlight
Cold sunshine
There were white roofs down the road this morning and a low, bright dawn sunshine illuminating these wild carrot seed-heads. The average day for first, albeit light, snowfall in Montreal is barely a month away.
