Cal. for four years, and though I did enjoy much of the beauty of the area, from the sea to the deserts to the mountains, I got *terribly* bored with the mostly monotonous year 'round weather down in the L.A. basin! I like sun and warmth as much as the next person, but I also love the rain, fog, wind, hail, snow, etc. In fact, I'd venture to say that as far as the aesthetics of weather/landscape interaction goes, sunny warm weather is about the least interesting to me. It's foggy here at my little bit of coastal paradise, and there's that lovely feather light mist that carries the smell of the sea falling gently all around me. Though I'm very close to it, I can just barely see a bit of surf through the fog and trees now and again, and the sound of the surf is carried to my ears along that magical winding path that only fog like this knows how to follow. If I weren't doing a bit of boat maintenance today, I'd certainly be out in it right now instead of typing at this silly machine; because it is, as usual, an excruciatingly beautiful day here on the central WA coast! :-) -- Melissa *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
