Stormy Weather

The calm before the storm...
I took a walk the 14th of March and this is how the storm treated Monhegan. It was a typical Nor'easter. This storm lasted 2 days and the surf was high for 3. I will post the day 3 pictures later. Many of the pictures had to be deleted for water drops, sea spray on the lens or the contrast between the sky and surf blend. The camera captures the gist of the raw emotion the ocean is expressing but in no way captures the real emotion that a storm like this brings out in this person taking the pictures. I hope you enjoy these

The meadow is so full that the little pond area by the Vaughan house has expanded

This is Gull Pond, the waves were crashing over flooding the pond

Gull Rock

The following pictures show the action there

I couldn't resist....

More waterfalls

A wave had just crashed over Gull Rock, again...

This is what it looks like underneath one of those waves! Needless to say, I got soaked!

Boars Head, Here it comes

Where did it go?

Ahhh, there it is, notice the trails of water

Gull Rock

Gull Rock Ledge, you never see this on a calm day. I need to find out how many fathoms (feet) it is, I'll let you know

Any one know what these birds are? They are usually out on the Duck Rocks and I see them when we are lobstering there. When they fly they all fly in unison and you see a lot of white. At least I believe these are the same birds.

wet but happy doggie
