For me there are two seasons in the year, warm weather and cold weather. Over the last few weeks, I have been transitioning from warm to cold weather clothes. The drill is very similar every year, the first change is going from shorts to jeans, followed soon after with a swap from tee shirts to sweat shirts. Much later the light jacket comes out, which occasionally could be in the company of waterproof hiking boots over running shoes. It becomes a little more significant when gloves are required on my daily wanders, and extremely alarming when the wooly hat is a must to keep my ears warm. The final link to the warm season is when the winter coat comes off the rack, which happened for this afternoon's beach wander. It will not be too long before the reverse will (hopefully) begin, sometime from mid to late March.
Below are photos taken on the winter coat’s first cold season outing ...
