Bracing
November got right down to it, starting off with a storm on the very first day of the month. Needless to say, the storm took the power out with it, though luckily for me, it both went out and came back on while I was at work.
The second day of November brought an encore, with the power once more going out again, this time for a longer period of time. PG&E stated on their website that it was due to an “emergency issue”, but I never learned what the emergency or the issue was. At least the lights were back on by the time I got home.
The Ridge quickly acquired its winter look of redwood needles on wet, black pavement:
As often happens when the weather is stormy, the light was beautiful between storms. I stopped off at Little River to take some pictures of the ocean:
I turned my attention to the nearby cove:
and was quite surprised to see a naked guy frolicking in the surf:
mostly because the water is so cold. Surfers wear wetsuits here, and hardly anyone plays in the icy water in bathing suits, let alone birthday suits. Maybe it was bracing.
A YEAR AGO: John rescued some tiny kittens, who now all have happy homes. Yay, John!
FIVE YEARS AGO: Halloween with our favorite girls.
TEN YEARS AGO: Trick or treating with our favorite kidlet.
