The Sun Returns

It was nice to have the sun return,
though it was still mighty cold today
walking on the beach!

Stormy Sea

After we shoveled out this afternoon,
we wondered what the surf might be like...

Just going by the tidal basin was a hint of
what to expect for there
were waves in what normally is calm water.

The tide was high and the surf was wild and crashing
with rooster tails...
something about a storm and the ocean that is so
mesmerizing.

We watched til almost dark...

More Snow

More snow fell overnight...with it
snow drifts.
Too heavy to clear the paths by
sweeping the snow early this
morning!
I was on my way over to the studio
to feed Ellie May, who you can see
waiting and watching from the left
upstairs window.

This snow called for a shovel!

Once safely inside the studio and
looking back at the house, I noticed how
magical the windows looked.

This is one of our lemon trees!

If you have snow, I hope you can enjoy it's beauty!

Snow

This afternoon we took a walk along the
ocean just before the first major snowstorm
of this winter began.
Loved the subtle shades in the bleached
beach grass.

It was so bitter cold,
my toes nearly froze!

Tonight the snow is falling and it is
very blustery... predictions are for
10 -16 inches of snow with big drifts.
We'll see, just hope we don't lose
the electricity!

Hope you are warm and safe wherever
you may be!

Snow and a Mackerel Sky

Thursday morning all is quiet with a new blanket of snow...


...while at the beach, a mackerel sky
was very dramatic!

Full Moon

A blanket of thick clouds covered
the sky all day...exceptionally cold
with a feeling of snow without the snow.
Then late this afternoon tiny snowflakes
started falling and soon it was covering
the ground.
I heard that tonight is a lunar eclipse but we
thought with the cloud layer we will not
be able to view it.
Well, the clouds made way for the moon later
this evening.
Don't know if we'll be awake to see the eclipse
but it was magical to see the moon!

Towards Evening

Was a gray cold Sunday and once the afternoon
slowly disappeared the moon shone through
the branches...
