It was a bit of a tough decision between cuddling the pups on the couch…
…and grabbing my backpack to explore nature in the rain.
The call of Clarke Head and the beach won out. I arrived about 45 minutes before low tide.
The rain had stopped as soon as I arrived on the beach and my solitary walk was just what I needed after socializing over the holidays. Breathing in fresh sea air, watching the light change and listening to the waves was so therapeutic.
Walking alone is always best when I want to focus on practicing my contemplative photography. I discovered a treasure trove today:
The blue sky appeared as I reached the ancient arch…
…and the sun tried to push through the clouds providing an amazing backdrop for Clarke Head.
On the way back I picked up 8.5 lbs of trash, leaving my favourite beach just a little cleaner for the start of 2023.
I hope the first full day of the new year has set the tone for what’s in store for 2023. I feel I have made a great start. Best wishes for good health and happiness, Anna

I like your words “contemplative photography” marvelous precept, Anna.
The arch against the suuden cloud and sky is awesome. I am surprised that you can still find color shrubbery in your area. Thank you. I enjoyed your share.
Happy New Year, 2023.

It has been fairly mild here this winter and quite wet. There is always colour!! Especially on the beach with different seaweeds and diverse geology. Humid days bring out the colour!
