Salty sea breezes, paella,glorious sunrise, and river otters

Ahhh, gotta love it. So far this appears to be the correct winter destination decision. And the people from elsewhere are arriving in strength by the day to join us.

Made the most of Mark being back for a couple of days, which also included his birthday. Fabulous for me, he wanted to cook for his birthday - Paella. It was fabulous! For those you know about such things, do not worry - this was in the middle of cooking, all the mussels have not popped open yet. We had to buy a new pan, spices, and spanish paella rice. Now we're ready whenever the urge hits. Saw another movie too, The Martian, also very good. Yup the big moviegoers here.

The latest beach visit was extra quiet and peaceful. A little painting, a little reading and picture taking. It has become an anodyne for me. 7 minutes from the house.

The crazy last days of daylight savings have made my early morning walk, at least in part, in pitch darkness. There have been magnificent sunrises as a reward at the end though.

Here's the full moon from last night except it was 6am this morning. I'm not fond of the short days and encroaching nighttime when daylight savings ends, but light in the morning will be gladly received, at least for the remaining weeks until the shortest day of the year.

Look who's back! Where's there is one there are more. These river otters are a playful bunch.
I'm hopping over to Miami next week with Mark and will post from there. It's always an interesting trip and the crazy parrtty city. Not that I participate or anything.
