Nights are freezing cold lately.. down into the 20'sF. Typical winter weather. Thursday was the first day of winter and the shortest day of the year though it didn't seem that short to me.
We had a big gale over several days. I am posting some photos taken by others showing the Atlantic ocean near me with it's 20-22foot waves.

These are breaking very close to shore and took a big bite out of the beach.

ReplyDeleteYikes! look at that crazy person!!! (lol)--its has been bitter cold here, Annie, 30* at night. I know, it's not the same, but nonetheless, when one goes from 80* and humid to 30*and dry and 50* during the day, yeah....smiles.
ReplyDeleteI agree... Yikes! and Wow! Hope that surfer survived the wipeout. Absolutely gorgeous photos!
