For me, 19 to 23 is just about the perfect temperature range. In these conditions you can do just about any outdoor activity in perfect comfort, winter sports excepted of course. As always, you have chosen a fabulous location to indulge your passion. And thanks for the picture of the Brown Cuckoo-Doves!David M.

I love the plants, trees, and mosses you photographed.

In your pictures, I KNOW I'm in a very different place.
