the 2009 Midwinters
& U.S. Nationals après Midwinters photos mostly by Andy Douma ... |
Nick and Al: After taking Frank
and Andrew back to St. Pete's on Sunday night whence they had flights
home to Ottawa and Thunder Bay respectively on the Monday afternoon,
Nick and I headed back towards Detroit on Monday morning. The above is
the only shot I got during a blessedly warm and uneventful trip home
which saw us arrive in Detroit on Tuesday at supper time. The photo
shows a citrus grove south of Ocala where Nick loaded up on oranges and
adopted a kumquat tree. On Wednesday, it was still warm - a Windsor, ON
record high of 14°C for Feb 11th - but windy, foggy and rainy as I
completed the last little Detroit-Oakville leg and had SHADES tucked back into her garage
by early afternoon - just before the cold roared back in with a
vengeance!
