January 1st, 2009 at sunrise
~~~
I awoke to a new year, 2009. The temperature outside was 10°F and it was very windy.
There was ice and snow on the roadways.
My usual New Years Day trip to the beach was put on hold.
Plan B: taking sunrise shots near my house! It really was beautiful!

I was just a little disappointed but decided that the beach would have had too much sand and ocean-spray blowing over us....bad for the camera and me! I could stand the cold but the wind makes it too uncomfortable. My husband decided to stay in bed.
It turned out to be a beautiful morning. I couldn't walk far, nor did I want to, but just around the neighborhood was magical.

The pond and canal were beginning to freeze up but the birds were busy at the bird feeders
and in the holly trees.
I was the only one out there and loved it!
Enjoy your day and remember that we got to see a new year.

That's amazing in itself and should be celebrated!
