[Leica] First Snow

[Nathan Wajsman]

Nice documentation. I do not buy fruit and veg from across the ocean or from the southern hemisphere, so no Washington apples for me. But my friend in Almoradí just messaged me to say that her oranges are ready for picking—this is a month earlier than usual! Climate change is screwing up the seasons.

Cheers,
Nathan
