Belated Christmas Beach Photos

My brother Adam is definitely a better photographer than I am, having an artist's eye for composition and lighting.  He finally got his Christmas photos posted on Facebook, so I am sharing my favorites in this entry.  And for those who were waiting with baited breath, these will finally prove that yes, I actually was at the beach with my family!

First ride of the year

Happy New Year!

I got out for my first ride of the new year today, January 2.  Not a perfect day for it as it was misty and overcast, but we needed some things at the food co-op, and the Chapel Hill bus system was shut down for the holiday weekend.  I have to say it was a lot of fun.  We saw a lot of runners and walkers out, plus a few cyclists.  Everyone seemed to be taking advantage of the last warm day in awhile.  It was 63-64 degrees when we left the apartment.

By the time we got home with our groceries, the cold front had started coming through, it was raining a bit harder, and the temperature had dropped to 54.  Barry ran upstairs for the camera so we could document the fact that we did indeed ride today!
