Night, Day: A Beach Trip
Tree frogs; crickets; laughing gulls; song sparrows; rays; hawks circling; dolphins lunging, thunderheads; marshes; weeds; swimming in warm ocean in the rain; crack of wave against the eyes; grains of sand in the eyes, pull of riptide; slide of water in the ear; wooded road; fox running across that road, ahead of headlights, red eye flashing; radio tower; mosquito ditch; humidity as a swimming pool, trapping sea smell, pine smell, smoke; wet on windshield, wet on bare arm, back of neck--these are all the things not seen, heard, etc. in the pictures below, pictures taken on a road trip my brother Michael and I just went on together that covered Ocean City, Maryland; the Delaware Coast; and Cape May in a little more than 24 hours.

Thanks for reminding me of what summer is like in other parts of the world.
You're welcome. Of course summer would mean differently for you. I wonder if some of it looks a little frenetic.
Pictures of the shore (both natural and otherwise) taken with such love that the essence of the place comes surging forward. The boardwalk shots are the best, that murky light, the blur and glow, all that seaside pleasure (of a very local variety). Just great.
"Blur and Glow." :-) Yes, of a very local variety.
