Hi Folks:
Hugscotch is a game best played by two, but if you’re on your own, feel free to start on one end, hug yourself in the middle and then hop off to the other end. If you don’t have a hugscotch on the beach where you happen to find yourself, feel free to create your own! One can also be made using sidewalk chalk, or use your own imagination!
Hugs,

P.S. Alternately, one may choose to create something completely different:
Hi Folks:
At the end of the year the pull of the moon and the changing ocean currents combine to give us both winter storms and very high (and low) tides, known as King Tides. It’s a subject we’ve written about before, both in 2010 and in 2012. Every experience is different, and fortunately (unlike in 2010) I didn’t get swamped by a rogue wave this time.
The image below was made at Holland Point on December 12. The rocks that appear in the mid-frame are actually bedrock extrusions, and the one on the left stands about 12′ (~3.7m) above the surrounding seafloor. I went out at night on December 23 and not only could I walk out to this rock, I could almost walk around it. I’ve never seen the tide that low before.
Okay, that’s it. Now go out and make some photographs!!
Hugs,
M&M
