Teague belongs to a women's group and on Saturday, the group was holding a circle to celebrate the group's 15th anniversary (I think) and International Women's Day. I don't belong to the group, but Teague invited me to tag along. We went up a couple of days early to make a runaway weekend.
Anytime we are in York, we make a trip to Nubble Light. It was close to 50 oF. and with warm air over cold water, we were quickly socked in with fog.
There was also a high wind warning. I've been to the lighthouse many times, but never when there was stormy weather. The sea was roiling.
We had some time to kill before we could check in to the inn so we went to Ogunquit Beach and took a walk. By the time we got to the beach the temperature had dropped 20 degrees in about 20 minutes. The windchill made it feel wicked cold.
The Adirondack chairs look cold and lonely. During the Summer, these chair are always packed with people watching the ocean or removing sand from feet and shoes before ending the day at the beach.
From the parking area we saw this thing and thought it might be a beach chair. Turns out it was just a branch.
After the walk on the beach it was time to warm up. We stopped at a Dunkin' Donut shop. I had a medium size, Chai Tea Latte and a Boston Cream donut.
We were staying at the Beachemere Inn. This was the view from
our private balcony.

Brr. It looks cold. The wind was crazy Friday. I was supposed to walk but didn't. Too bad it the weather wasn't that great for your trip, but you did get a change of scenery that had to be nice. Thanks for sharing. And have a super T day.
ReplyDeleteIt was very cold and windy. Friday I wanted to walk along the Marginal Way. There were gates at the edge of the property to enter/exit. It was so windy some of the lawn chairs were flying across the lawn. No walking that day!
DeleteWhat a lovely , c-c-c-cold trip CJ! I can feel the cold from your photos! But any trip to the beach is a good trip! I LOVE to go in the off season... I'm not one to get in the water... except my feet.... but i can walk for miles... Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to walk along the beach. I found 3 pretty shells on different days. Water temps. too cold to dip your feet in at 38 oF. There were a couple of intrepid surfers, but they were wearing wet suits, hoods, gloves, and booties.
DeleteWonderful video, I love such weather!
ReplyDeleteWow. From 10 to -1 C in just 20 minutes???? Brrr.
A beautiful balcony view. Thank you for the mini-vacation and have a happy T-Day!
Lovely views! Thanks for sharing! Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteStorms can be beautiful and exciting when they roil the ocean, but I prefer sunshine!
