A time of staggering change, which insists on a touching back to one's past. I didn't grow up in Cape May and Wildwood but they were twenty-five miles down the road from the place I loved best. And here they are again, so many years later, the salt marshes, the phragmites, the trumpet vines, the Japanese black pines--not to mention the boardwalks (candied and carmelized) within view of that incomprehensible sea.
Hmmm...I'm curious/concerned about what staggers those changes and hope that you are not too overly staggered for your birthday, which I hope is joyous, ecstatic, stone-skipping, dance-all-night happy!!!
the prairie (the pervasive geographic feature where i live) sometimes seems like a sea; i've yet to get the exact words that describe how i feel when i look onto it.
Nancy, why not try to describe it as a sea and let the description itself do the work of feeling? You should check out Mark's new book THE ART OF DESCRIPTION, which he just wrote about on his blog.

Staggering change = growing up, Bill. Interior stuff. I think it's going to be a good year.
I hope you guys are well.

I should say that the first nine photos here are from Cape May, the rest Wildwood.
