We've definitely been back to gray and wet lately, but the temps are still amazingly mild for late January! I'm still having some difficulty getting out to take pics, so I'm really grateful for my files!! Today there are some flowering trees, the beautiful harbor, etc.! Hope you enjoy!

    Beautiful photos Sylvia! I'm surprised to see the crow just sitting there among the gulls. Around these parts, if a crow got that close, or a gull got close to group of crows, it would be lucky to escape alive.

    The Twain quote is a good one, as is the quote by Dr. Lucille Ball.

    Great pictures, as always!
    I miss the sunshine. Being on a perennial night shift, I seldom witness the sunrise.I simply love the 'warmness' of your photos Slyvia.

    I miss visiting here. I am trying to reconnect with my blogger friends. I thought of visiting and joining My World Tuesday for a start.

    By the way, belated Happy New Year (it's better to be late than never)!
