today after Bill brushed up against our shore
I went out...
first just walking down the road
to the bay with
Hoagy
the sky was vivid...
the light was divine.
no really.
it was.
everything glistened in that light
every piece of grass was illuminated
every living thing was brighter and more present
it was pretty nice
Hoagy and I sat on the docks and just gazed out
after a long game of monopoly
and a good dinner of chili
Ron and I decided we'd check out Prospect Village
wow
the waves out on the horizon were rising up and over small islands
the light was breaking and changing and leaving and coming back
the sea was black and gold or blue and silver or pink
you can see the wave in this one
people joined us as we watched
it felt like a benediction
it was hard to leave...
I took 67 pictures...
bye bye Bill - you weren't much of a hurricaine but you
were a beaut of a storm

Great pics! Nothing but wind and rain in the city. Dangerous to be out because of flying debris. Glad you enjoyed it even if Bill was only a Willy.
I did not realize you lived that close to the ocean. I have never seen the Atlantic Ocean.
Hope I get a chance to travel one of these days!
Gorgeous photographs, and lovely post.
Especially liked how you summed it up - 'you weren't much of a hurricane, but you were a beaut of a storm.'
These are beautiful pictures and lovely text. I'm glad Bill didn't make any problems for you.

Thanks Arlo - I wanted more! I am a storm junkie!
Liz - you'd be welcome here anytime! The Atlantic is the best...
Rayna - I love to think of you in Bombay reading about Hurricaine Bill!!
Elizabeth - Thank you...the chickens freaked out and layed one egg between them in the yard which broke and was washed clean! Ron was highly indignant - ha!
thank you for this beautiful post!!
