Forty in Florida... it's all in the perception.

Woke up, peered out the drapes and it looked like snow... this morning it was FORTY degrees in Florida. Not just Florida, Fort Lauderdale and Miami Florida - the TROPICS!

I thought about my dress code for the day and bundled up, which to a Floridian is layering all the sweatshirts, sweaters, and turtlenecks you have purchased over the past twenty years for your occasional trips 'north'. I resemble a bag lady on a Florida Cold day. When I walked out my front door the atrium was crisp and clear, I could see the sun shine streaming into the gardens from the beach, but there was no mistaking the icy grip we so seldom feel here.

I walked towards the elevator to the parking garages, and the sunlight and sound of the waves drew me in.

Yeah, frozen beach - this was cold, really really cold. I snapped a few more shots of the winter weather.

I got into my car, and hit the button for the heated seats... brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Wow that felt good.

I spent the next few miles taking photos here and there of the Winter Day and began to laugh as I scanned the photos on the camera. Its not so bad after all... lol.

Okay... so its forty degrees in Florida. At least I am not shoveling SUNSHINE! Have a warm and wonderful day where ever you live!
