Average person's perception....

[David Ilvedson, RPT]

Patchy clouds with some sunlight coming through.  Not very cold here right
now.  Very still at that moment.  Seagulls screeching...Winter here is mild
but usually wet.  Hasn't been very wet yet.  We have the bare trees but a
lot of cypress which keeps it looking green.  It was just a very beautiful
moment.
