Too Smooth For Sailing

THE WIND KICKED and howled during the night in southwestern BC and the morning found our lawn furniture had been flung about. It is hard to believe on days like these that the breeze, not so long ago, was a soft whisper on the cheek and life was too smooth for sailing.

I, too, have been thinking about weather contrasts lately, Penelope. Love this photo and also its title :)

Wonderful picture and weather can surprise us like that. The storms here have strong winds but we never get thunder or lightning like in Holland

I think that your wind is here now...don't have anything for it to knock down, except for more fir needles...

Hope all is well.

There ought to be some kind of poetic idea in that somehow. Life is too easy for the excitement of challenges,or something.

Actually, it is disappointing when it is too smooth for sailing.

Lots of ideas strike me ...

We live in the world of uncertainty: an instant changes life. We have all the more reason to treasure such time of too smooth sailing which is rare. Your photo is beautiful and made me feel relaxed, Penelope.

The weather sure can change quickly! It's always good to stay aware of any impending changes. :)

Yes, the wind has been pretty fierce at times lately, I am always happy to wake up and have power on such days. Love the picture of sailboat and their reflections in the mirror smooth water.
