Sept. 14, 2023

When it’s time it’s time. The lifeguard chairs, most of the stairs, and the footbridge are removed every year, and for this season it was at sunrise Sept 14. Rockport DPW is also on top of the storm prep ahead of this weekend’s Tropical Storm warning forecast. They work fast to beat the tides.

september 1,2 / schooner festival

I saw this beach chair and thought perfect chair for Schooner Festival weekend. Imagine chairs on the boulevard printed with custom vessels (iconic racers and current ones). The smoke in the sky again from fires in Canada.

september 8- Black SEa and black clouds then blue Sky, no rain or rainbow

When the sea is black, the photo with the blue sky pockets and the clouds like waves–the last sequentially–was unexpected. Note the scale of the Long Beach cottages vs. clouds.

Incredible clouds on Friday afternoon

As I was sitting on the beach around 3:00 on Friday the clouds came directly over and around us.  Very cool.

Lone white sail

Cloudy weather does not divert from the beauty of mother nature.  Love the lone sail with Boston in the background.  Also, if you look closely, you can see a plane taking off and an egret.

 

Interesting clouds at sunset

The month of October and November have been so beautiful. Walking to Shore Road and Magnolia Pier are so relaxing and inspiring. Love the Sunset club on Shore Road.

Sunset and clouds

The other night the sunset was interesting with the clouds.  One of the photos it looks like the sun was behind a mountain when it was actually clouds.
