An inquisitive old fart with a camera
Lo barato sale caro. As with most sayings, that can be stated more succinctly in English: false economy.
Construction of this house (not including the slab it sits on) started less than a month ago. Everything about it is about the worst quality imaginable. It’s not even finished, and already it is beginning to look uninhabitable.
But it’s “affordable,” no doubt. For now.
On the dog walk yesterday.
It rained last night. A lot.
When I first started dog walking with Syd, he told me this area would fill with water in the winter. I found it hard to believe in the middle of the summer!
The sky this morning, Atlántida.
We’re a few weeks away from the winter solstice. Happily, the short days have been mostly sunny. And because the sun is lower in the sky, we see reflections from the kitchen sink and faucet that don’t occur at other times of the year.
If I told you I took this photo in the morning, and you had spent any time in Uruguay, you would know what day of the week it was.
When I was growing up, my parents had a philodendron plant in their living room. I was used to seeing it there even as I watched snow piling up outside. It still strikes me as curious when I see one like this, growing on the the side of the road. When we get a frost (always gone with the morning sun) in a month or so, I might wander down there in the morning to see if it has any on it.
Strange cloud this morning, Atlántida.
Afternoon light.
The clouds this morning looked like fish swimming above the ocean.
