Yesterday, walking around New York City…and this morning, back on the beach. Â Grateful for more moderate temperatures today!
It was barely 20 degrees yesterday, yet NYC was hopping. Â As we maneuvered around the crowds in Times Square, I was comparing it to my typical winter walk along a deserted beach. Â Just slightly different 😉
Look close: Â the seagulls are walking around the boats…ON the ice!
Based on personal sightings, there are at least 2 Snowy owls on 7 Mile Beach. Â One has taken up residence at Stone Harbor Point, and another spotted in the Avalon high dune area, (and flying down along the southend beach).
Yesterday, we saw one at 83rd Street (perched on the fence post by the path). Â This one looked smaller than others, so guessing it may be a third owl??
Picture below is blurry- taken yesterday at the Point. Â Better pictures on my January 2nd, and January 10th blog posts.
Yes…another cold day at the shore. Â Yes…that’s ice on the beach. Â Yes…we are officially ready for more reasonable weather to return!
Better today- less wind and bright sunshine. Â Warming us up to a balmy 18 degrees!
An incredible mist swirling over the ocean this morning.
Full disclosure: I observed this from inside my warm house…and with binoculars.
ALMOST makes me want to layer up and walk down to the beach. Almost… 😉
P.S. Well, Â I had to go out to check heat for a property owner. Â Why not share the view!
Cold and windy on the beach this morning. Â The blowing SAND looks like snow…but stings more!
Will post snow pictures on Twitter: http://twitter.com/AnnDelaneyBeach
P.S. Â Smart marketing by travel companies – running commercials for warm beach vacations while we are tuned in for the weather forecast 😉
The beach sky just before sunrise- beautiful colors!
The island is a bit more active with the 3 day weekend. Â Nice to see lights on in houses!
Bundle up, and enjoy a walk on the windy beach 🙂
