p.20 Hard to imagine waves crashing over the ledge and fort below right, but they certainly did. This last storm did so much coastal damage - especially mid coast. Your great grandaughter is already liking a steering wheel...my kind of girl!
(Did you see the pix of the destroyed brick bell shed at Pemaquid light from the storm?)
Those photos in the news were impressive. Water, forced ashore by high winds, can do an amazing amount of damage. I'm always amazed, also, by the people who want to get close to the action and don't take into account the variations in the wave height that can wipe everything away in an instant.
Back in April of 2023 we took a short trip (short time wise) out to southwest TX to visit son in his new abode and livlihood. While there we visited the Big Bend National Park for a second time and discovered ....
.... how the blooms of spring color the desert at that time of year.
Since my photobuddy has grown up, I no longer have kids around willing to perform with glo-sticks - but I found a couple who were. I love the abstract designs created by the colors and movement. First image placed in a contest.
I had a very good year in 2023, so I'm posting my second 5 favorites each of flower closeups and color infrared. All of these, and my first set, were taken within walking distance of my home.
