R.A.I.N. is now a four-letter word around here. I worry that my fingers and toes are beginning to grow webbing. Rising waters, thunder and lightning, and all around ennui again trapped me indoors much of the week.

I may get my beaches back. The past two days, I've broken with routine and spent hours sitting in the sand. In … Continue reading Sea turtle watch

Dog days are over

School started last week, and the local ball fields are now barren of summer league games. They seem so lonely without all the children playing and parents yelling. It didn't rain for a change this weekend, but there were still huge puddles and soggy grass. I tried to capture the abandoned feel of one of … Continue reading Dog days are over
