Last night my daughter and I went out for Mexican food. It was just the two of us. It was a warm, balmy, night here - absolutely beautiful.
We sat outdoors, overlooking the water, as we enjoyed our meal. I know a lot of you are facing cold temperatures right now, but I was only wearing a t-shirt and it was very comfortable outside ...around 75F/23.9C.
There was a Christmas tree lit up nearby. It was so peaceful. The lights reflected off the water. It was stunning. I thought I could just sit right there for hours enjoying the warm breeze.
It was a little slice of heaven. I had my point and shoot camera in my purse. This photo doesn't really capture the beauty of the scene in its entirety, but perhaps it gives you an idea of what it was like.

That's a beautiful picture. I often forget to take my camera with me when I go places and miss out on things like that. It's been lovely here too. I think we had a 30C day here today. Mind you, I'm in summer so it doesn't sound nearly as cool as your day does :)

Lovely!
Warm. Balmy. Can I trade you some cold and 8" of snow for that? Please? :)

Was that the same one on the pier in Santa Barbara. Absolutely beautiful.

It was beautiful today, one of those days that remind me why I love Socal.

There is a tree floating in a pond out here with green Christmas lights on it. I took a photo of it with the lights reflecting in the water in front of it, and it looks so much like this one you have here!
The wind is rattling the windows with snow as I write this, thinking about you out there in a T shirt!!!
