Autumn & Winter in Uruguay

We arrived in Uruguay just over five weeks ago; we were met by the beauty of late autumn. Were now ending the second week of official winter here. The temperatures last night dipped to almost 0 degrees Celsius!

Were enjoying the beauty of God's creation all around us. Shortly after our arrival, Elizabeth and I enjoyed a late afternoon walk...


The late autumn flowers were beautiful:


The roses are still blooming...


I digitally captured this Dalia (I believe) before the whole plant became one of many victims of the first hoarfrost:


Sunsets, as seen from The Ranch, have been impressive:




The fog has also been impressive:


The eucalyptus bloom in autumn and winter:


And theres nothing quite like a eucalyptus log fire in the hearth:

DJM was captivated the first time he saw that much fire!
