Fresh off the 2019 Polar Vortex, it's time to turn back the clock to the first time this term entered into the widespread American lexicon.
The new year of 2014 introduced most people to the term "polar vortex." Just days into the start of the new year and most of the central and eastern United States was plunged into bone-chilling sub-zero temps, with many seeing the coldest temps in 30 years, while others saw the coldest in recorded history. In the Upper Midwest, the polar vortex was accompanied by blizzards that saw heavy snow, high winds, and total white-out conditions. This extreme cold went on for a few days. It wouldn't the the last polar vortex of 2014, but it was definitely the worst.
The effects were very visible on Lake Michigan. Most of the lake was covered in ice. Large ice boulders built up on the shores. On the eastern shores on the west side of Michigan, people were walking on the ice a mile out from shore. The lighthouses were frozen tombs of encased ice.
So it was good timing when a week later I embarked on my previously-scheduled first lighthouse tour. In St. Joseph, the piers were impassable without crampons. The catwalks were encrusted with windblown ice. Despite the cold, the beach was surprisingly crowded. But after what came before, no one was complaining when the high temps hit 5 Degrees! By then it was practically shorts weather!

I think I already uploaded a similar one... just set this one as wallpaper on my screen
and liked this blue so much... a little change in this autumnal colouring.

Tanti auguri per un felice 2009 a tutti gli amici di Flickr!
Happy New Year to all Flickr Friends!
Ti ho intravista al lume di una rosa
svanire lesta nel buio della notte.
Sappi che quella rosa rimane sempre accesa
semmai ti andasse di ripassar di qua.
I glimpsed you by a roselight
quickly disappear into darkness of night.
I let you know that rose is always switched on
In case you happen to pass here again

Loving tenderness abounds for all
from the darkest
to the most eminent one beyond the stars,
Exquisitely loving all
she bequeaths the kiss of peace
upon the ultimate King.
*Hildegard of Bingen
or: Orange Crush
I remember some orange lemonade with this name...
must be over 30 years ago... I don't even know if it still exists.
SPLASH!!! I spend more then two hours observing my children and a wonderful duckfamily having lots of fun in a river-swimmingpool in france...
...it is cold and rainy outside - just felt like searching
for some summer colours in my archives :)
"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection." Buddha .
These grasses (maybe some kind of wild oat, I have to find out) grow in the Lavendula and wheat fields. They danced so gracefully in the hot summer breeze.
This is one of my own favourite photographs :)
Just looke it up: it is a kind of "Avena Sativa"... but the wild weed kind:
"Other species are nuisance weeds in cereal crops, as, being grasses like the crop, they cannot be chemically removed; any herbicide that would kill them would also damage the crop."
