The Sound of Silence

Today is one of those days that even though it's totally frigid outside, it's still an absolutely gorgeous day. Partially because of the anticipation of Spring coming but also because there's always this understated beauty in one of those frigid winter days. Especially if there's still one of the last snowfalls on the ground. Or in the case here at Kingsboro on the sand and the rocks.

I know why does a day like today make linger for warm spring days. There's no a sign of a flower blooming, or even a new blade of grass peaking through the snow. But today there's a very clear blue sky with a only a few puffy clouds to be seen. And the sun is brightly shining which creates this beautiful glistening glittery effect on the ocean. Something about that reminds me and makes me long for warmer weather. I guess it's just one of things that can't quite be explained.

On the other hand, there's this quite beauty of one the last cold wintery days. There's this quiet understated beauty with no activity aside from the gulls on the ocean, with not even a boat on the horizon. There something serenily beautiful about snow on the rocks and the sand. And you can't help but smile when you se little web footprints in the snow.
