Windswept magnificence

You shall be radiant at what you see, your heart shall throb and overflow,
For the riches of the sea shall be emptied out before you …
(Isaiah 60: 5)


Reflected sunset over Greenwich Bay to our southwest, June 6, 2010.


Sometimes I can't get beyond gushy clichés when it comes to these photo entries. Last evening we had a tornado watch, but thankfully instead of a twister we got a fast-moving, rumbly thunderstorm and high winds. Just as the rain (but not the wind) stopped, I walked the path around our beach and caught the sun as it set in the west-northwest.

The fresh breeze was exhilarating after two days of drippy humidity. In my tank top and shorts, I shivered a bit – but mostly with the sheer fineness of being by the sea amid such glory, the adored scents of salt water and wild roses, the rough caress of the northwesterly wind. My toes dug themselves into fine sand as I braced the camera and fired off shot after shot.

Photography advice: Turn around. I did, and captured a bit of the sunset's reflected glory on retreating storm clouds to the south and east over Narragansett Bay.

Thrilling!

Shining golden in the sun's slanting rays, this tree at the end of our road tossed its head wildly.


Southeast over Narragansett Bay: Dark clouds, red reflections as a long June day ends.


Another view of the cloud show over Greenwich Bay.

As I walked from the western end of the walking/bike path back home, I couldn't resist one last photograph of the now-dimming, still colorful sky to the south.
