Some Like it Hot
30 January 2013
It’s cold outside!!! Don’t get me wrong. I love all the seasons, and winter is a fascinating time to me. All the stark contrasts of browns and whites against startling blue skies. But I’m ready to think about something a little warmer than the sultry six degrees the back porch thermometer declared when I got up this morning.
Yeah. I’m whining because I’ve fluffed up again (Cheezits and Cherry Coke Stress Diet since the day The Prince Consort had his open heart surgery) and I can’t go power walking. Too cold and too icy. I’m Snarky! Okay Snarkier!
 |
| Here’s my favorite place to walk, a few days ago. Hrumph! Ice on the water, ice on the trails. |
So I turned on the time machine, and went back to Florida this past October when the living was easy, and the weather was perfect for fishing, walking, swimming, bird watching ….
 |
| A warm Fall day begins. |
 |
| Not a snowflake, a dragonfly. |
 |
| crab in the warm shallow water off the pier. |
 |
| TPC fishing, in shorts. (Nice legs!) |
 |
| Another fisher, this one wading in the warm waters. |
 |
| Gulls ‘fished’ for bread pieces, which I threw to them. |
 |
| After a long day of fishing in the warm waters, time to dry out the wings (Anhinga or Armpit bird?) |
 |
|
I’m feeling warmer now, remembering the sultry endings to the mild days.
