#TodaysBeauty is a double tweet with some of the images I took at Lime Kiln Lighthouse on Friday when J and L pods came by and hung out for awhile in the heavy flood-tide current. Plus a bonus sound track.

This year I decided I needed an antidote to the ugliness that appears regularly on my timeline. Knowing that getting a daily dose of natural beauty is key to my own mental health, I began sharing a daily (well, sorta) photo of the beauty I’ve seen over the years: #TodaysBeauty.
Over half of the #TodaysBeauty shots have been from my photo archives, but I also posted a large number of pix that were contemporaneous. So to celebrate the New Year, here is a thread of some of my favorites, mostly taken this year, month by month. Enjoy!

Plus, of course, the coup de grace.
Ahhh, #TodaysBeauty, just in time.
