On this walk last week the wind was blowing in the 50 miles per hour range. Later that night it was up to 80 miles per hour. The wind is a powerful force.
The white area you can barely make out in the photo above is a mass of gulls on the water. It was amazing to watch them and the geese dipping and diving and landing and taking off. Who knows what it was all about. It was magnificent to watch.
After a cold cold weekend, we are expecting highs in the 60's for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Guess who is planning a hike? One for each day. Can you think of a better present?
A hike on Christmas sounds lovely. If you were to take it here in Texas you’d need to wear shorts. Expected to be near 80 on Christmas Day! Where’s winter?

Staggeringly beautiful photos, Carol! Thanks for an uplifting start to my day!
We have returned from Australia to Glen Ellen, California, where it's been chilly and rainy. Sounds like we have escaped the latest heat wave in New South Wales, so that's lucky.
Hoping for some clear skies and sunny days here soon. I need to get out and about with my camera!
Merry Christmas,
Dianne

Beautiful pictures? The gulls were diving for fish. We see the gulls and pelicans do this every day on the Outer Banks.

Epic photos. We are expecting snow and temperatures in the teens and 20’s starting on Christmas Day.. I’m not sure which one of us is better off!
