In Winterhouse Canyon

We are just tipping over the edge between winter and summer.  Yesterday, sun and warm, took off the down parka for my walk, was in just a long sleeved tee.   The day started as winter though, cold and damp and dark and windy.

We are loosing the sun at my house now about 1:15 in the afternoon.  It only clears the tops of the southern hills at about 8:15.   Forget about sun rising in the east, setting in the west-  it's the season of rise in the south, set in the southwest.  Woody Point keeps its sun until about 4, and the last light hits the Norris Point Hills and Gros Morne mountain, shadows steadily creepin  up the slopes, to disappear at 4:45 p.m.  By 5:30 it's pitch black outside.
