A cloudy day, after sunset looking east.
The ambient colour of the night sky is much cooler than the man-made lighting of the home—until the sky is black.
Even on an overcast day.
And that’s why it’s sometimes called blue hour.

The roots of this fir tree were entering the septic system and had to go. Thomas came by to take it down and to do some dangerous tree maintenance on the other side of the property.
Here’s an animation of Thomas using the bucket truck and guiding this 200 lb piece of Arbutus to the ground:



Looks like an introspective moment in the Kindergarten class.

One last evening at Long Beach, Vancouver Island.
Two dogs and their people, were the second last off the beach that night.

The last rays of light illuminate the thundering surf as seen from the Green Point area. Seems like few people experience this scene, after sunset, in November. (This photo was taken by the last person on the beach; it was completely dark by the time I got onto the forest trail leading back to the campsite.)
It’s hard to say how long this trip will satisfy the need to visit the west coast—but we’ll be back in the spring for sure!
