And Hurricane Earl came... and fizzled out

[wraithfodder]

While I'm grateful we didn't get nailed, we could have used the rain. Darn. Here are some photos. We had hot and humid and icky weather, so Earl did at least clear out the bad air. Here's a local reservoir.



And a dragonfly, which turned out pretty good considering I shot it at high noon and the little insect couldn't sit still for more than five seconds.



 Went to a local (well, semi-local) beach to see what kind of waves there would be. Not too bad, but wow, was it windy!!

 









And here's a video, where you really hear the windy whipping by... Looks pretty good on HD (720 choice):

And that's it

you live in such a georgeous place, (i am sure it seems very mundane to you as you live there all the time:))

I am trying to get pictures of the drgon flies aroudn my work but my camera is not good enough and certainly not fast enough to catch them before they are off again.. You cannot sneek up on the things at all..

I like the picture of the rolling wave (beach number 1) you have caught so much energy in the wave

Ah, if only these pictures were my back yard! ;) And yes, dragonflies never stay put, as soon as you find them in the lens, poof, they fly off. :)
