Two swimmers with floats and one person snorkeling inspired a little collage making this afternoon. It’s been a solid five weeks of cold water dipping every morning at 8:00. I am…

Finding the joy in everyday. The Breakwater this morning, a stunning sunrise, pink clouds, and black mountain peaks etched with meringue and an otter flipping its tail. The sky’s promise of a beautiful day.

Finding joy every day. Today, the day before Christmas, 3 degrees Celsius at Breakwater. We were greeted with a stone grey sea and a matching sky. Mountains hidden under cloud cover.
