40 Degrees

It hit 40 for the first time ion a long time (don't even know how long!) so I did what any Mainer would do.....I went to the beach! Gorgeous day. I LOVE the patterns in the sand from the tide.

Me too!

Never seemed that warm to me. Maybe it was warmer by the ocean. I went to photograph the ice disc. Lovely shot.

@joansmor no! It was freezing at the beach! But 40 beats 15 any day!

[Diane]

@joansmor can’t wait to see your photo of the disc. I thought about going but was lazy...hit the beach instead!

[Helen Jane]

So much texture in this shot, brought out by the light. lovely

[Jennifer Potter]

The patterns in the sand are what I noticed first! And I like the mist hanging in the far background. I'd love to live near the beach!

40 in January? Is that unusual for your area? Sounds nice to me! Love the sand patterns.

[Diane]

@helenhall I love the patterns in the sand! @jenp living near the beach is the best! My town is coastal for sure! @amyk it’s been in a freeze for over a week so it seems 40 is a dream!

We've got the 40's this week - just grey and gloomy! Like the light showing up those patterns.

[Ron]

Very cool. And no HDR?!?

[Joan Robillard]

@dianen I am hitting the beach today for sunrise. Only from my car. Wish me a good sunrise and the disc is there. You are more mobile and could walk around and really do it justice. There I've thrown down the gauntlet.

[Diane]

@stray_shooter no just. Few weeks of contrast...the ripples are that pronounced!

[Diane]

@milaniet thank you

[Diane]

@joansmor yikes gauntlet down? I’ll have to see if I can find the time. Busy thru mid day Saturday and then that pesky storm is hitting

[Joan Robillard]

@dianen just posted my shot
