On December 1st, a beautiful ‘Halo cloud” was seen over central Florida. According to The National Weather Service, “A halo is a ring or light that forms around the sun or moon as the sun or moon light refracts off ice crystals present in a thin veil of cirrus clouds. The halo is usually seen as a bright, white ring although sometimes it can have color.”

November Skies in Central Florida
November brought the beginning of the best time of the year here in Central Florida. It’s a pleasant 70 degrees F when I go outside at 8 am. Most days are intense blue skies with puffy white clouds. We’re officially winding down the hurricane season, but I still pay attention to the weather to know what’s happening. We’re expecting a cooler front to come from the north this next week. I don’t mind. Most of you who live in 4 season areas would think our cooler weather is a laugh.

A Day of Puffy Clouds
I’d like to thank all my readers who sent messages of concern last week when the hurricane blew by Florida. I sincerely appreciate your support. As expected here in central Florida away from the coast, we had a tropical storm warning (not a hurricane warning), rain, and wind. Yes, other areas were not so lucky. Tampa had extensive flooding and property destruction.
The next day was a regular sunny day with blue skies and puffy white clouds. I hope you enjoy the beautiful day I’m sharing. I wish you all beautiful days where you live.

Trees & Sky Views in September
Hurricane Helene is forecast to land in the big bend of Florida (the curve in the shape of the state) Thursday evening which is today. I’m writing this on Wednesday. Since my move to a more central location in the state, I no longer worry about being where the storms land. I will get wind and rain but less fierce, and my county is under a tropical storm warning. The worse that can happen is possible loss of power for a while, but I don’t really expect that to happen either.

A Walk By Lake Parker
Today I’m sharing a few photos from a walk around the condo complex on Lake Parker. It’s the end of August, and here in central Florida, it is hot. We have afternoon showers most days as it is the rainy season. Hopefully, we won’t have a bad hurricane this fall. The next two months are really the height of hurricane season due to the heat build up on the ocean.
