Spectacular farewell 11/22/11

• Aunt Peg's last beach sunrise, and we were out there early walking it.  The sickle moon cast an aqua wash on Mother Ocean.  Hadn't seen that color on her before.  Maybe it was special for Peg's farewell.
• The waves rolled high and boisterous.  Clouds mimicked the waves along the skyline.  One bold cloud formed into a whale's tail flapping high out of the water.
• Seagulls congregated on the sand right before sunrise to say good-bye to Peg (she loves the gulls), then peppered the sky in swooping swirls. 
• Sunbella rose out of the wave clouds flaring hot orange and laid a path of liquid gold across the ocean right to our feet on the sand.
• Gorgeous morning in the 60s and barely a breeze.  Mid-70s by the time I dropped Peg at the airport at 10.  She's going to hate KC and 40 degrees in a couple of hours.
