Flight

Hurricane Earl is barreling up the coast at a somewhat lesser pace than yesterday, thank goodness.  It seems that a nice westerly cold front is puffing it away from the coast and it's run out of a bit of steam.

Although we have battened down the hatches and pulled in all the things that can go "bump" when it's windy I won't be sorry to have prepared for nothing.

At this point I worry about the beaches the most.  They might not hold a candle to the ones that I love to frequent at "home" but still, when the weather is bad here, they get hammered and seem to lose so much ground that there is almost nothing left to walk on afterward.

"Flight" is created from a photo of a feather that I picked up on a recent beach walk at Robert Moses and I am crossing my fingers that after Earl has passed we will still get to enjoy some sand time before the chilly weather sets in!
(P.S. In this image, I'm using some new textures and overlays that will soon be available to purchase...so stay tuned on that score!

What exquisite detail..and wonderful processing. Earl amounted to nothing other than rain up here. Hope you were spared its fury!!!

This is beautiful, love the tones and looking forward to seeing what you will be making available at your shop. I'm with you, hoping we are well prepared but that Earl will not leave much of a mark once he passes.

Stay safe, Marie! Earl missed us too it seems (unless he's planning on dumping rain/wind on us this morning).
