It was pretty gloomy around here a couple of days ago, and cold, too.
But I braved the misty oceanfront for a few minutes of ‘pick-me-up’ despite the dreary day. I really have nothing to complain about. We get so much sunshine here that it can be nice to have a dreary sort of day, once in a while. A day like that is best spent on a comfy couch, under cozy blankets, dozing.
But I came here, instead.
And made a video for you:
Then I came back the next day, to the same location
to say hello, and make another video for you:
Still, I was surprised to learn that those little kids, far off in the video, playing at the shoreline, were barefooted and scampering around the ocean’s edge. Really, mom? I mean, it was like 46 degrees. They came off the beach as I was hurrying back into my heated car, and I watched as they tried to wipe the sand from their bare feet with baby wipes. Hmm. Those kids had to have felt frigid; maybe they weren’t from around here. I don’t think of 46 degrees as barefoot weather but really, beachlifers are a diverse collection of folks, that I know.
I prefer sunshine, despite the cold temps. It is the ‘dead of winter’ after all. It was a pretty day, despite the chill. That golden hour of sunset casts such a warm glow on the beach.
After this, I drove away into the light of a lovely sunset.
I agree….46 isn’t a toes in the sand kind of a day!!!! Even with your cold temps….it’s still really beautiful:)
