Views of the Neighborhood – Winter Sunday

~ John W. Howell

The days between Christmas and New Year are pretty low-key around the neighborhood. I thought I would give you two views of the Gulf while the sky is overcast and the wind is blowing. The temperature was in the fifties. All in all a winter day.

  2. The “churning” makes the Gulf appear even more mysterious. Your blog header and these two photos offer quite the contrast between the seasons. Happy New Year to you and yours, John.

  6. This is my time of year for the beach. Where it’s not so well-groomed, the shelling can be great. I confess I prefer things a little warmer, but the nice thing about gray skies and temperatures in the 50s is the significant absence of boom boxes. The photos are great captures of winter on our coast.

  9. Good morning, John,
    “In between the years” it’s not actually low-key here in Fritztown. As usual in the holiday season, we have (too) many tourists. But the, as we live at the edge of the city and don’t go to the city centre very often, it doesn’t bother us too much.
    Al the best to you and yours for 2019,
    Pit

      1. That’s probably why I always loved swimming in the ocean. Because I could make it small that way, or smaller anyway. When you swim in the ocean, it’s only as big as the tips of your fingers and toes.

  15. Hello John. It looks like your winter is very similar to ours here in south Florida. I’m surprised there aren’t people riding three-wheelers or walking on the beach. Nice photos. 🙂

  21. Great shots of your wintry beach, John. We’ve been to the beach in the winter when it looks just like this, though a bit chillier in the 40’s. Happy New Year!

  29. You have such a wonderful place to walk – I would be out there every single day! Sorry it’s taken me so long to see this – when I am writing, things tend to slip….
