Awesome as usual. Setting looks similar around here minus the bigger hills. Looks a lot like Litchfield County, CT. Lots of favorites but these 2 on top of list.

Was that the house number or age on the tree of that house? 1850? Didn't look like an 1850 house unless it was restored? Is the house number the same as the year built??

Looks like that artwork is from Star Wars or something. LOL

As far as the moth.. I had something I never seen before last month. No idea what it was until I asked the Garden Forum folks.

Actually, if you tell me the time I can probably find the sounding for it and get an idea how high the clouds were

It was around 5pm. Not much turbulence but the incoming flights required a short time of holding.

I don't know if you've experienced the scent that comes off the Lemon flowers...WOW.. Every year it's awesome, very strong soothing scent. Hope to get more lemons. I picked 3 last year. Only a 5yr old plant. Only outside 4 months a year

See the lemons on there?

From the train station. It isn't particularly tall (~ 60m) but height restrictions made it the tallest building in the city. A nice, blue sky with some cumulus clouds. A clear contrast to yesterday, where it was completely overcast.

Good photos. The sea is almost as flat as here. Is it like that often, or does Brighton get decent surf at times?

People in the last photo seem to be in winter dress mode.

These were taken yesterday while driving through central Idaho.
