It’s fall, and even down here at 20° north latitude, there are some changes. We don’t do daylight saving time, but the days are a bit shorter, some of the trees have lost some of their leaves, and the temperature last night plummeted to 58.9°F. Brrrrr.
We don’t really need heat, but we are finally getting some good rain (¼” so far today) and it just seemed like a nice day to build a cozy fire and fend off what passes for chill here.

The first gif image was far too large and ended up with a lot of scaling artifact after it was processed by twoprops.net’s Quartz rendering engine. I regenerated it using this command:
ffmpeg -t 5 -i '/home/twoprops/Camera/VID_20251109_110936.mp4' -vf "fps=15,scale=640:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen[p];[s1][p]paletteuse" -loop 0 Desktop/firstfire.gif
It’s still too big (11 megabytes vs. 45) but the end result is much better.
