In the Solstice Sunlight

Gracie T-t hunched warmly in the noon time slanted sunlight to pose for the longest day of the year. It started at 24º F (-4.4) and has already gone to the high of 26ºF... that's with the sun shining.
I think I fooled around with the colour/light adjustment too much on this. The cat's fur really is a deeper black)
The Extra photo is a view I snapped just beyond the cat to part of the eastern garden. It sleeps now, of course, midst the remnant of the mere snowfall we had two days ago.
Predictions are that the temperatures will return to the 50'a by midweek: the warmest November & December on record.
