The Hottest Day

We've had some gorgeous weather for a week, but Thursday was the ultimate. While one could complain that it got too hot at 30C/86F, one wouldn't because it was just one short, April day.

I began Thursday with an early morning photoshoot. The first photo is not the composition that I had most wanted, but I do like the blue and orange colours even if the composition isn't exactly compelling  

The second photo is a composition that I was hoping for with the sun rising in the gap between the buildings. While it isn't quite as good as I had hoped, it did work out well enough. I probably should have brightened the foreground somewhat, but it looks okay in full res on a big monitor. Having lower res photos looking a bit dark on Blogger is something that I put up with.

How synchronous, for as it happened, it was also that hot day that I had booked to have my snow tires removed. That little task was accomplished by 10:30, which gave us time to get to the Waterfront restaurant in time for a late breakfast. They just re-opened the patio last week, and we were keen to be some of the first customers before temperatures will revert to April normal, starting tomorrow.

It was my first day in shorts and tees, and I was quite comfortable,

But as you see ↑ the sun was strong, and the shade umbrellas weren't up yet, so  . . .

. . . I put my jacket on for sun protection. Then I got very hot, indeed.

My breakfast was mmm mmm good . . . and filling.

WATERFRONT SCRAMBLE

3 scrambled eggs mixed with peppers, onion, tomato, bacon, home fries and sausage covered with cheese and hollandaise sauce. Served with toast.

It was good to have that almost preternaturally hot day after that a devastating ice storm had caused to much damage just eight days earlier
