Contrasts

Went fishing yesterday. Not much into fishing, but the day was so gorgeous and warm, I couldn't resist. So, I pretty much lounged while my uncle fished. Unfortunately, due to lack of rain all summer, the stream was lower than usual. We only saw minnows or smaller fish, nothing to bite a hook. So we ended up driving from one fishing location to another to check the depths, all to no avail.

Instead, we took the short drive to Lake Ontario and encountered a weird weather change. While it was sunny and near 80 degrees south of the lake, we ran smack-dab into a fog front that was so thick you couldn't see the horizon above the lake. It was cool actually, but the cool temperature was a stark contrast to the warmth just a mile or so away. It was refreshing. When we drove back into the warm sunlight, the difference was felt right away.
Never have I experienced such a contrast in weather within a mile or so of where I was. And never have I seen such a thick cloud of fog in early afternoon like that. Loved it.
