hiding

Looking out to sea, enjoying blue sky and reflections on wet sand, it could be any season.

I'm hiding from the snow that covers the sand dunes behind me. I'm hiding from the forecast of a snowstorm that appears to be heading our way later this week.

I'm looking forward to spring weather. I wonder, will this be winter's last party?
