My two favourite days of the year are the day each year that daylight saving starts and today, the winter solstice. Tomorrow is the first day towards summer 2015; today is the beginning of longer days. That is the best Christmas present possible.
Today, as usual, textures caught my eyes as I walked as did iconic sights. Cedar, the pattern of waves on sand, clouds/fog/clouds/the ocean blending together, leaves, grasses… there is beauty everywhere but never have I been more aware of the stunning sights of winter.

There are orange, red, blue and white berries. Beautiful berries abound in winter. |

On the west side of the park are high cliffs and because of all the winter storms, there are lots of new streams. |

As ferns decay, their colour deepens. |

These, in life, are a deeper violet. They are stunning salad (Gaultheria Shallon) leaves. |
