This is what the dead of winter looks like near the California coast....Taken in January at Point Reyes National Seashore, about an hour north of San Francisco. I love the warm colors. Enjoy.
Come, my friends,
'tis not too late to seek a new world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite the sounding furrows; for my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset, and the baths of all western stars, until I die.
Tennyson, "Ulysses"
