Resolution
This was a day of many firsts - first day of the New Year, first day of a new decade, first footsteps in fresh snow on trail, first sunset, first time at the beach....you get the idea. I think we should treat each day this way. Perhaps I'll make that my New Year's resolution.
This was our last stop before the long drive home and what began as a quick mediocre sunset evolved a few minutes later into what you see here. This beach access point was actually cordoned off because of high water levels and erosion - I used the barrier to hold my camera steady. Ironically, the local government bulldozed a segment of the beach flat to accommodate tourism - affecting an endangered Piping Plover habitat in the process, and incurring a fine from the Ministry of Natural Resources. High water levels and windy weather have since eroded the beach to the point that this part, at least, is no longer accessible.
