I took this photograph yesterday afternoon in our front garden.

It was about 75 degrees Farenheit. In December. I'm told more seasonal temperatures are due to arrive in time for Christmas, so in the meantime, I should probably just enjoy the unexpected burst of colour. You know, sort of like an early Christmas gift of nature.

(For those of you who may be traveling over the next few days to be with loved ones for the holiday, godspeed, and be safe.)
