Hoping for clear skies and smooth sailing for 2011!

Happy Holidays!

Here's to putting the "SEA" back in Season's Greetings!

Best wishes to all for the upcoming year.

The blog is migrating south to Bonaire at the beginning of 2011. Come along for the underwater photos.

Winter solstice

Tonight, those of you with a clear sky in North America may view the total lunar eclipse. Our skies are overcast, with rain coming down. I'll keep checking, but in the meantime, I'm sharing an earlier eclipse, from February 2008.

Welcome to Winter!

Evening sky

December has continued the cloudy spell that started about mid-November. But when the clouds part, we enjoy whatever sun breaks we find. This morning was quite sunny, but some clouds moved in this afternoon. A cold east wind is blowing, which has stimulated lots of people to crank up their furnaces, wood stoves, and fireplaces. Smoke then contributes a red hue to our sunsets.

This is what our sunset looked like tonight.
