Sunrise on an almost deserted beach
= new reply since forum marked as read
At least the other person on the beach is really cool!
On the way back, slipped on some seaweed and ended up with a wet arse!
Good thing it was on the way back! 
I'd call that chilly rather than cool. It's a neat picture.
Coping, it's barely freezing, even at night, in my corner of the state. It's been trying to snow for days but it never hits the ground at my elevation so we've been looking at dry grass most of the time. Today, the snow finally started hitting the ground, might be some left int the morning. It's predicted to get colder and snow over the next few days.
Our winters seem to have been cut in half, used to start in October and end in May/June, now it's just like late September until sometime in January and then we get something resembling winter with most of the snow pack in the mountain accumulating after January 1st. Kind of creepy.
I haven't had to use any of my real winter gear yet.
