Day 336 - a Year by the Sea
December 3, 2007 by OrientSee.
An accidental arrangement. The leaves were simply laying on this wet log when I noticed the bright mold. It was the mold and not the leaves that caught my attention. Today’s weather has been abysmal. It is what our local climate does best. Wind, mixed precipitation and constantly changing temperatures crowned with a precipitous fall. Tomorrow morning will be full of slips and falls for all. It’s not the big snowstorms but this raw chafing weather that actually hurts the worst. I am totally amazed that the smaller birds and mammals survive the cold wet at all. Their metabolisms are usually higher and they need more food (proportionately) to maintain their core temperatures. Some of them can go into torpor (metabolic slowdown) till the sun comes out but even still it must be a trial. I will just lie back beneath the comforter tonight and listen to the wind howl.
Ciao!
