It was a strange morning

I woke early this morning to hard rain

and howling winds

 the rain pelted and puddled

then suddenly stopped

 

bright sun back lit rain on my windows

turning droplets to diamonds 

 this sudden turn of events was tempting

 

temps in the 60s

the beach called

i answered its beckoning
with pleasure
camera in hand

 

weather forecasters promised astronomical surf

in southern new england on south facing beaches

 

but  not for my northern east facing beach
nonetheless the sea was angry
wild

 

strange morning

heavy storm clouds

suddenly

moved in and quickly away

shifting mood and color

 

the remainder of the day was spent in the studio

preparing for the gift-giving holiday to come

yesterday saw completion of several in-process knitting and felting projects

today, the beginning of spa bags for DILs
