These days we are greeted mostly but cloudy and rainy skies….but sometimes, for a moment, for a few hours, or perhaps even a chunk of the day….the sun breaks through and SHINES!  Then, I grab the kids, the leash, the dog, my walking shoes and my toque and head out to soak it up. If I have enough time, we head to the beach. If I happen to be at work, I call out to my cubicle neighbours to join me as “the sun has just broken through the clouds and it looks like we will have a 10 minute window” before the mountain swallows up the light.  Eyes closed, head tilted up, arms outstretched, recharging for the next stint of grey.  Oh how grateful I am for late autumn sunshine.  Hope you are feeling a bit of warmth in your neck of the woods too.

Here’s a few shots from the perfect beach walk I enjoyed this week.  Warm sun on my face  + sparkly sea + and an hour of kid-free time  = BLISS

….and don’t you love the combination of BLUE skies and RED rose hips?!
