Nor’easter Redux
Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, USA
A post responding to a post by Nancy Bauer on her blog, ShoreDiveLife.com, explaining that though the beach sights may be dramatic, the November 2009 “nor’easter” did relatively little damage to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Featured photos include remains of a beach sand fence, treasure-seekers with metal detectors in the surf, and crowds of people walking the beach on a sunny day just days later.
After the Storm
Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, USA
Visiting Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, after the “Friday the 13th” storm that slammed the U.S. East Coast in November 2009, we walked to the beach to find out what the fuss was about. The storm had eaten half the dunes, leveling and extending the beaches, exposing long-buried sand fences put there years ago to build the dunes, and wiping out the reinforced and carefully laid-out paths from boardwalk to beach. In some places we found sand cliffs, broken sand fences, and shattered steps; in other places, the paths were buried feet deep under new sand.
Reflecting Fall
Reston, Virginia, USA
It is a still, cool day at the lake. The colors of autumn leaves and the clear blue sky are reflected in the calm lake, bordered by boats that have been put away for the season. There has been a break in posting as I upgraded our systems to Microsoft’s new Windows 7 operating system, which I have to admit I greatly prefer over its predecessor, Vista.
