Shades of blue

It was a strange morning, bluish gray and foggy at ground level with the color of the sea blending with the fog. The clouds at mid-level were dark and heavy with shades of purple, then above it all were dabs of blue... all you had to do is look up to see the promise of a lovely day.

The ocean was peaceful, walkers were few, and even the birds and other wildlife seemed to be sleeping in. All this made me feel very serene — akin to being snuggled up in a soft gray blanket. To say I enjoyed my walk this morning would be an understatement.
