DK @ Daybreak. 7:20 am, January 23, 2022. 20° F, feels like 10° F. Calf Pasture Beach, Norwalk, CT. More photos from this morning here.

Wow! What a great warp start the day. Thanks Dave.

It is! Thanks Klaus!
Did you ever think the air feeling like 10 degrees would seem warm? Bet you went out wondering if you needed a hat! Thanks for leading us all to a most beautiful morning.

wake up!
Yes!
Silence !
Yes!
Woawh….. What a ‚good morning‘ greeting that is! Just read a message by someone in Ontario talking about -30C!!!! THAT is cold!
And HH and myself with large mugs filled with a wonderfully spicy winter tea in our cold hands. Cold for us, back from a one hour and a bit-walk back with bright sunshine but very cold wind, breezing right through our thick winter coats and cutting across the ear warmers as if they were crêpes…..
You even make me dislike PH a bit less – because she sure HAS a way with words! 😉
Smiling. She does have a way worth words! Stay warm Kiki!
Fantastic photos, DK. I checked out your “more photos here” page. Love the lighthouse.
Thank you Anneli. Appreciate it!

I’ve been loving all these quotes from Patricia Highsmith. Thanks for sharing them.
Thanks Euan. What an incredible talent she was.
I have to confess to not having read anything by her but I’m tempted to buy her diaries.
My confession would be aligned with yours. I too haven’t read any of her books. And not sure what possessed me to read her Diaries.
Glorious, pal, just glorious….
Thanks Lori
