Day 179: Winter seaside

"That's why you can't be a true Yankee without winter: because all the best pleasures are earned - the fire, the fried oysters; the warmer seasons, too. Who knows the real worth of summer at the beach without a good taste of the seaside in winter?" - Julia Glass

Project 365: #179

We have had our first taste of a real cold-front, bringing a significant drop in temperature along with the first threat of a serious Grade 4 storm. Thankfully, it diverted it's direction out to sea. We took the advantage of a visit to the seaside on a sunny, but wintery day. It was absolutely stunning, and the temperature warmed up enough to give us racoon tans from our sunglasses. We had the most awesome walk along the promenade. I could definitely do this more often, even though the tangible summery feeling was not there and the beaches were all but deserted. The seasons do teach you to appreciate each one, and make the most of every moment!
