One of the last remaining blossoms in the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. Everything bloomed early this year.

I was so happy to find this dress buried at the back of the closet yesterday. It has survived some 50+ years without being hemmed so it still has its super-long New Look length. I was able to wear it out for a little coffee and vintage shopping despite without sacrificing my modesty to this ridiculous wind. I think my hair would have preferred to stay in.

The one cross where the looks are very deceiving due to weather conditions at time of bloom. Beware if you are a buyer. Watch the bloom and then buy the plant.

The Perito Moreno Glacier, a declared UNESCO World Heritage site is located 78km west of El Calafate in the Santa Cruz region of Patagonian Argentina and is is one of 48 glaciers in Patagonian Argentina and Chile.
The Perito Moreno Glacier covers an area of 255 square km, is 30km long and 5km wide, 50 to 70m above lake level and about 100m below. At its deepest point, the ice is 700 m thick, although the average is much less at approximately 170m.
Without doubt this massive glacier was one of the most accessible and visually stunning natural phenomenons I have seen anywhere in the world.
My first sight of the glacier at Curva de Los Suspiros lookout belied its massive size but when I finally got up close to the southern ice face in Brazo Rico in a cruise boat I was absolutely stunned by its sheer enormity. That was just the start of the experience and after the cruise we traveled a short distance around the Magallanes Peninsula to the lengthy boardwalk viewing platform where panoramic viewing of the eastern and northern terminus faces was possible. From the boardwalk one could see and hear massive chunks of ice calving off the glacier as it moved inexorably forward at a rate reported to be around 1.5 to 2m per day.
At the time of my visit in March 2003 the Perito Moreno Glacier was one of the few glaciers in the world that was considered stable, ie. not retreating. Both the Upsala and San Rafael Glaciers which I also visited in South America were clearly, by comparison dramatically receding.
The interesting thing about the Perito Moreno Glacier is that at times, after of a lot of ice buildup, the glacier terminus actually reaches land at the tip of the Magallanes Peninsula. When this happens the ice buildup completely blocks Brazo Rico damming it off from the northern Canal de Temanos, causing Lago Argentino to be divided into two distinct water bodies with the southern water body, Brazo Rico's water volume rising as much as 25-30m higher than the water level in the northern Canal de Tempanos.
Eventually the water finds a weak point, a rupture occurs, and water under great pressure crashes through from Brazo Rico into Canal de Tempanos in one massive and no doubt spectacular flooding event which of course is eagerly awaited by Glaciologists, TV news crews and tourists alike. This rupture event has tended to occur about once every 4-5 years. The last such rupture event occurred on January 19, 2013, and previously, March 4, 2012, 2008, 2006, 2004, 1988, 1986, 1980, 1977, 1975, 1972, 1970, 1966, 1963, 1960, 1956, 1953, 1952, 1947, 1940, 1934 and 1917.

So mesmerized was this monster glacier was I that I almost failed to allocate enough time to actually photograph it. I spent considerable time just walking up and down the long boardwalk, completely captivated by the awesomeness of the ice landscape in my view, listening to its constant rumbling sounds and becoming completely immersed in the sheer wonder of it all.
