I took this photograph of these kids playing on the beach as the sun set on a hot August day last summer. That was exactly 6 months ago. At that time the days were getting noticeably shorter, the waning days of summer. Let’s be optimists as the winter wanes and dream of 6 months from now when this scene will be repeated again.

Late yesterday I found this snow covered field with interesting patterns around plant stalks that formed snow cones.

The report from here in Lewes, DE was that the blizzard dropped 20.6 inches of snow. Rain mixed in with the snow for several hours, then it turned colder and the snow mounted up. Looking in the woods today I found icicles hanging from cedar trees. The late day sun shining through them made a unique and beautiful woods scene.

The coast of Delware is under a blizzard warning for tonight and tomorrow. The storm has started. This is the very beginning on Friday night at 7:40 p.m. (about 10 minutes ago).

Last night I photographed the pintails that I posted last night and on the way out of the marsh I saw a thousand or more snowgeese in a field just after the sun had set. Here is one from that moment.

These Bald Cypress trees had to brace against a light snow this morning.

The howling northwest winds gusted to 50 miles per hour and the temperature peaked at 26 degrees here in Lewes, Delaware today. I waded through 18 inches of frozen sea slush to get a photograph of sunset at Cape Henlopen tonight. It was brutally cold but this scene is rare here.

The sunset last night turned out to be the last sunny sunset of the decade here at the Delaware coast. The blue moon tonight is covered by clouds. Happy New Year to everyone and thanks to all of the people who have visited my website this past year. I look forward to taking and posting exciting new photographs in the coming year.

Early this morning the clouds from yesterday’s snow storm were pushing out to sea. As the sun broke through at dawn on the last day of Fall, this walkway to the beach was not quite as inviting as it is on a hot July morning.
