omg!

It's pouring rain! The intersection down the road is underwater. The cars in downtown are swimming. I got out of work dry and was soaked to the skin as soon as I made it down the stairs. It's unbelievable. What is going on?? This isn't normal at all!

This is ironic because on Saturday, A and I went to the park to photograph butterflies, and sweated like pigs. All we saw were two (2) Cabbage Whites (invasive species) and 2 (two) Summer Azures, which are azure by naked eye, and tattered grey by photograph. Better than the first time in May, when we saw only the Cabbage Whites...lots of birds though. A has a picture of me sitting in despair under the shade of a bush, but some of the photos were worth it.

Here's my favourite picture of Saturday:

Rhetorical questions, right?

Normal? Well, sort of. New normal. Until the climate stops heating up and settles into a new equilibrium. But for my lifetime (and probably yours)? Instability is normal, I'm sorry to say.

(Sorry. Had to reply, just on the off-chance you weren't waxing rhetorical.)
