Rehoboth Under Snow
It was very relaxing and enjoyable being “snowed in” for the very dramatic “Blizzard of 2010,” which we spent at our house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. I brought two cameras: the Nikon D700 DSLR for best quality and artistry and the “little” Canon G9 that I could stuff in a pocket for protection if we went out amongst the weather. We went out in the storm and I took lots of pictures, which have been posted on www.RickCollierImagery.com.
Isn’t It Spring Yet ?!?
Rehoboth Beach, USA
Springtime shots of dogwood blossoms on a sunny spring day provide a bright contrast to today’s present February snow, ice, rain, and drizzle. Wasn’t “snowmageddon” a stupid rubric for the press to choose for a snowstorm? And announcing the launch of the new web sites, RickCollier.com, www.RickCollierImagery.com, and this site, thePhotoTourist.
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.
