Wear a wet suit

What do you do on a sunny day during a Seattle winter? Go to the beach! 

Eric and I ventured to Golden Gardens Beach today to experiment with his old Minolta film camera, and to soak up some of the sunshine. The stars are out tonight, so it should be a nice day tomorrow, too. While on the beach, as I took pictures, a man stopped and asked if my feet were cold. I looked down at the bare toes curling themselves up in their attempts to hide from the crisp wind that was shaping the sand around us, and told him that, yes, they were.

He thanked me for my honesty, buried his face in his scarf, and walked off.

My days in Seattle are winding down, but it has been glorious to spend some time outside, taking in final views of the Olympics and Cascades - sights that take my breath away anew each time the clouds clear. Yes --- it sounds cliche to say that. 

And, yes --- if you have not seen it for yourself, you should.
