Can't believe this is Christmas week. Last week we had snow, ice, more snow. This week we have rain, sun, more sun. Today is the 3rd day( I think) of Christmas. I really dislike it when people dismiss Christmas after the 25th. Sorry, folks, it not only goes on for 12 days, but it should last all year.What's the rush........ Today was incredibly nice and mild. Could have been May or June......
It was so clear, looking over to the point of Quadra island, I could see sticky trees pushing up from the cliffs. So clear that each wave had it's own ripple effect. There were even boats bobbing about near the point. People lounging on deck. Probably taking pictures of us on the shore. That's what I would do....
And the loons, cormorants, whatever you want to call them....sitting on their rock. Crowded together like sardines, sunning themselves like they do. Yawning at each other. Staring at the humans staring at them.
And the edge of Quadra island, jutting out like a chin. Trees cascading down into the shoaling waters that round the point. Was absolutely perfect.
And being silly down at the beach was a must today. Sidewalk was teeming with people. You won't see them here, but they are on either side of the frame. Everyone was down, taking their daily constitutional. Full of christmas dinners, christmas revelry and too much company.
The wave action was about as tame as it ever gets. Just one patch of splash near the rocky shoreline. Loons jumping up ever two seconds to see if the splashes meant there was something to eat. They were definitely a little looney today. All that sun. All that attention from passersby, stopping to stare and marvel at the clear day, on this , the 3rd day of Christmas.
