Skipping the weekly wildflowers post on this one – the drought has not been kind, and even after about an inch of rain over the past couple of days, the wildflowers are pretty much gone by at this point. Still had a lovely walk, though.

Surf from Hurricane Erin at Two Lights State Park

The remnants of hurricane Erin passed offshore this week – these pictures are about two hours before high tide. She’s no longer a hurricane, and is hundreds of miles away at this point, but still pretty impressive. We could feel the spray up on the path.

Had a lovely walk at Two Lights on Sunday. It’s the kind of weather where as long as you’re in the sun, it’s glorious. The reason we were out there was to stop at Kettle Cove on the way out and snag some seaweed for the garden.
