Day 307 – At the end of the day

307/365 (Nov 3, 2011) – Saw it all today. It started out dark (surprise!) for my ride up to a nearby fish hatchery (about 2 km up the road) where I had planned on spending a few hours doing some sampling before heading into the office. But the best thing about plans is that they can change. The staff were clipping steelhead fry and an extra pair of hands was most welcome so I stuck around for the day and helped out. I prefer the field over the office any day, even if it gives me a sore back at the end of it.

Over the course of the day the sun came out, then it rained, then the sun came back, then it hailed, then it went back to rain, and about the time I got home the sun had materialized again. I imagine today put some snow on the mountains just up the road too.

But the wonderful thing about sun at this time of year is how it makes Nature’s decorations even more spectacular!
