Photo Memory of the Week
Cloud of the Week
Ladies and gentlemen, meet this week's cloud(s). I stumbled across it while walking to a clematis-site sighting from the previous day. By the time I got somewhere without any intervening tree branches, the cloud and the colours had moved on. Forget carpe diem: this is more like arripe occasionem.

Does Barbara mean that zippers are untrustworthy on terra firma and should not be considered integral to the function of a craft on the briny sea?
Laurna – Dunno. Mayhap. This particular zipper was integral only to the functioning of those plastic panels that they lower as translucent wind/rain screens, so there wasn’t much functional risk involved. But it did make a nice counterpoint to all those ropes.
