Over here we are having what everyone is wishíng for today, though some feel they are having quite enough of it.

How is it over there?

Just about back to the amounts a month ago, snowberries now seriously weighed down, yews and mock orange still bearing up.

Wet and windy up here in Reykjavík this morning but now I see it's trying to snow, albeit half-heartedly, so maybe we'll be having a white one after all!

Gleðileg jól, everybody.

Which being interpreted meaneth a very "Gladly Yule".

Midwinter is here.

Last night brought a full moon high over the glittering snow, at complete calm and -22.5 degrees C (-8.5 F), stars faint in the bright clear sky.

Last night it was about -12°C. We took the dogs for a walk down by the harbor and watched the lunar eclipse from shortly after onset to totality. Unfortunately my camera malfunctioned, but I expect that there are at least 37,000,000 photos of it without mine. On the way home we saw fireworks on the hillside in celebration of the solstice. Despite the forecast, the sky was full of stars, not snowflakes.

And what a beauty, Peter. Do you know its favourite flower?

Is that why it is called Iceland, Steve? Is it really a car bonnet, not an ice elk?

Edit: I have been unable to post earlier today. After trying a number of other things, clearing the cache made it possible.

Jacob,

Evidence is scanty, but I have reason to suspect that it is the dandelion.

A first for us, after thirty years in these parts: yesterday we saw a lynx, crossing the highway. Lots and lots of snowshoe hares for it to munch.

Steve,

One of my favorite examples of art in nature. Thank you.

Peter

Edit: Unfortunately, no photo of lynx.

Icelandic car bonnet.

It's been getting a bit chilly up here too but no snow to speak of yet.

I believe you make everyone feel at home, Peter.

NO, I prefer it green and alive. I hate snow.

I know, Kurt, but you mentioned it recently.
