The rainy season is here, finally. Rain and fog and more rain; proper fall weather on thisW island. The predominant colour is grey; all other colours are muted, or just plain gone. This morning the house across the street from me was just a darker grey square in the fog. When the sun tries to break through the clouds, it draws sharp tree and bird silhouettes against silvery water.

Sunrise today, 8:10 AM. Sunset, 5:57 PM. 6° now, just after sunset, and dropping; it's not raining at the moment, but the ground is wet. Good weather for ducks. And mushrooms.
A Skywatch post.

Por fin han empezado las lluvias esperadas. Lluvia, neblina, y más lluvia; el clima correcto para el otoño en esta isla. Gris es el color principal; otros colores se apagan o simplemente no aparecen. Esta mañana la casa enfrente, al otro lado de mi casa, apenas marcaba un cuadro gris más oscuro en la niebla. Cuando el sol hace el intento de penetrar las nubes, pinta siluetas de árboles y pájaros sobre un fondo de agua plateada.
- El estuario del rio Campbell, con patos ánades reales.
- El sol de mediodía.
- Aquí se ve un poquitito de cielo azul.
- Nubes cubriendo los cerros de la isla Quadra.
- El guardián de Tyee Spit, mirando el cielo y el estrecho.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
