This is a glimpse of my world close to home. As winter deepens, the fog gets thicker, comes earlier and stays later. The parks are shrouded and empty.
Just a few weeks ago there were still boats sailing near the harbor on The Sound.
Now the beaches are deserted, gray and shrouded in fog.
Seems the only colo
rs to be found are in the sunsets and they are all the more magnificent in comparison.The coming holidays will brighten things for a while, and the snow yesterday was beautiful, but as real winter sets in, we all seem to be wistfully thinking of spring.
I've got the 'greys' on my blog too LOL. I like your insight, about the fog and drabness making the sunsets all the more spectacular; that's a lovely thought, and I'll remember when the gloomy days get me down. Thanks Sylvia!
ReplyDeleteYes, I find I am looking for sunrise and sunset rather eagerly these days. By January or early February I will be hunting for signs of the rorcuses I planted this fall.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you post these photos. I love to see them! It's beautiful there!
ReplyDeleteI have some on my blog from fall and need to add some from now.
Great pictures. Loved seeing your world today. We still have snow today.
ReplyDeleteThese are great photos Sylvia - winter has really set in. Love the grey beach scene though - funny how a beach can look menacing - to me beaches can have so many different faces all dependent on the weather.
ReplyDeleteSylvia, thank you so much for sharing the wonderful photos. The fog has its own special beauty and mystery. One could write a whole column, I suspect, tracing ways fog has been used as a metaphor in books and films. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe visited Washington this summer and were lucky enough to have sun fr the entire visit. It was beautiful--Olympic, our destination.
ReplyDeleteMany mentioned the gray of most months--I imagine that is difficult to bear.
But, the weeks of sun, something to look forward to.
It's very gray in the Midwest, too. I try to appreciate winter for its own unique characteristics, but it's not always easy to do so.
ReplyDeletePS Did you have a problem with Mr Linky? It was working fine at 3 when I entered my post, but hadn't checked back since then until now.
ReplyDeleteWren, thanks, I was finally able to sign in a few minutes ago!
ReplyDeleteWe are up in Bellingham and the winds have been howling down from Canada's Frasier Valley and have blown most of the snow away that we received the other day. The ground has become hard as a rock compared to the usual wet and mushy soil. Happy Holidays...
ReplyDeleteI prefer the snow over the ice storm that we got hit with this past weekend. Gorgeous photos!!
ReplyDeleteYou have wonderful music on your playlist. thanks for the treat!
ReplyDeleteThgank you for sharing your wonderful images with us. You certainly live in a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Sylvia. Not to worry, the snow will be gone soon and the rain will be back and life can go on as normal.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful world you live in.. thanks for sharing
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos. i like to visit the beach during the winter months.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your beautiful wintry world! It has a special atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteSylvia you sound a little blue. May be you could do with some riveting hobby where you join a group of interesting people and forget about the greyness outside.
ReplyDeleteall super pictures!
ReplyDeleteSylvia: Yes, those are neat views of the the beaches of your world.
ReplyDeleteBTW: You are correct about similarities of the decks.
