PrettyTiny Film Company -- random pix (Mar. 27)

[Alliecat]

Thanks!
So that was a while ago, and Red returned to stay shortly after.  And more ice-cavern pix are in the pic-fics.

Perhaps it is a bit more temperate relative to the inland mainland areas at that latitude....
The island depends on a cable from the mainland for all its power? That seems a bit... tenuous

It is.  Often they get snow and we get rain.  Or you come off the ferry and once you get up the hill it's like "whoa, look at all the snow over here".
The cable lasted 40 years and was already scheduled for replacement when it crapped out (possibly snagged by a dragger?) so they had to bring generators over while that happened, but since it was already getting underway, the timing was pretty good.  We had the entertainment of watching a giant cable-lay boat just offshore for a while.  There is a generating station here but it also crapped out shortly after the cable did and then was too ex$pensive to run for weeks while the cable was replaced.  Sometimes it takes them a while to get it going when there's a winter outage.
The lugging of creek water really made me appreciate NOT having to do that regularly!!

I am soooooo far behind sorting photos.  This isn't even as far behind as I am, but let's go back to October, when there was a butterfly or two still here, and I found a fairy in the yard.


























Also in October one of my hibiscus cuttings decided to make a flower instead of roots.  The pink-haired minis were delighted.














Fast-forward again to last week, and a few more pix of Robyn with her friend in the snow.  Pic-a-week can be like chips; you can't take just one








Robyn has always seemed very summery; I didn't ex-pect her to look so good as a winter queen.  But as a sort of nature girl, I guess she fits in all seasons.



I find it really hard to choose between these 3 closeups.









Drying off after their adventure in the snow!
