My, I Wish Miami...

There's been the first frost of the season this morning near Chicago, and a hard freeze predicted for tonight.

This is unusually early in the season, usually it's early to mid-November before a hard freeze, at least late October.

I could sure stand a few days of warm salt breezes and sunshine on my face...

A Day At The Beach...

A Day At The Beach...

Sand - soft and giving usually,
Today packed and damp and hard,
Breakers rumbling tumbling rippling rolling,
Ceaseless as the wind in your hair ears eyes face,
Sea gulls climb it screeching swooping gliding turning,
Sky of grey steel blue charcoal ash in constant motion,
Sun faded washed scrubbed over-dubbed clouds,
Grasses waving blowing swaying rustling browning,
Trees whipping bending tapping turning browning,
Leaves flying drifting swirling falling sliding,
Red ones orange ones yellow ones brown ones crinkle and blow and rustle,
Lake Michigan powerful at your feet moving spraying churning.

The only still things driftwood sitting on the dark yellow sand and old footprints.

Autumn is here and it's another day at the beach.

Well, this project has been defunct for a bit.

Issues with my web-host for the main site, financial fun, etc.

Actually, I could use a day at the beach.

I'll try to get everything back online in the next month or so - and then upscale it from there.

I really miss the beach this time of year...

...it's almost february and I want to be a snowbird and fly South really badly.
