Looks beautiful! I love those cold mornings, it’s hard to get out there, but when you do, you get all exited about what you are seeing & forget all about the cold :)
Mel Brackstone replied

Thanks Lee, I don’t usually wander around barefoot on winter’s mornings, but yeah, eventually I forgot about my toes :)

Mel Brackstone replied

There was frost on the ground, and my boots were so wet I decided to go barefoot….bad move….I had to stay in the water, which was at least reasonably warm, in comparison to the sand :)

So calm, so serene, so beautiful, love the colors! How cold does it get there Mel?
Mel Brackstone replied

The temps reached just under freezing for a day or two, however, it’s sub tropical, so there’s rarely days like that. Mostly it’s warm in winter :) Thanks Joanne!

Stunning, Mel…..’freezing cold’.....so how cold was it?!!! LOL. You’re talking to a gal from the north remember!!
Mel Brackstone replied

I’m a gal from the sub-tropics, who doesn’t even have a heater in the house, let alone too much warm clothing….heh. There WAS frost on the car and ground….not thick, but still there….so that’s freezing enough for me, with bare feet…
Wendi Donaldson

LOL now….ok frost and bare feet! I don’t think that’s a match! LOL.
Mel Brackstone replied

My boots were so wet from the shoot the night before….figured it would warm up….was wrong…LOL
