Winter light

Actually, Winter dark! The days are short.

Here, at 48N, sunset is 4:40 p.m. and with the sun angle very south, it is dusk shortly after 4:00 p.m. Sunrise is after 8:00 a.m. Short days

Two weeks until the Winter Solstice and we turn around to longer days.

Daytime has not been exceptionally bright the last few days. The cloud deck is low. Temperature is a constant 27F day and night. The humidity from the low cloud deck makes it feel colder than 27F.

BUT! Emmett and I have returned to walking on the State Land behind my property. Hunting season is over. The bears are hopefully denned up but at any rate, the vegetation has died and I can see over the terrain.

It is wonderful to add more variety to our outings.

We get longer walks and more stuff to sniff!

Winter light.

***EDIT Especially for Margaret … so sorry … I returned the drone. It just was not the right time for it. One day!
