In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb

This morning I sat in the dark at the kitchen table and listened to the chimes clang angrily against each other as the wind blew across the deck.  Above me the attic vents spun with such violence I wondered if we were having an earthquake.   I won't be going out today, I thought.

By late morning the wind had blown the clouds away and the sunshine beckoned.  After lunch the boys and I answered its call and spent some time at the park.  I ran few errands and stopped at Gyro Beach to snap this shot.  You can compare it to a similar one here that I took in October.
