The first snow....

We've waited a long time to see more than a dusting of snow here on the Cape but this morning it began as I got to the beach...

There wasn't a single other person around and it was still and silent except for a few gulls....

a small flock of buffleheads...

and the quiet lapping of the water against the frozen sand..

At a different beach along the way there were empty benches and empty docks...

I love these quiet mornings when I can pretend that I am alone and that the beach is here just for me, even if it is for just a short time.

Have a happy snow day today!
