Dark and Stormy Seas by lauriehiggins

Dark and Stormy Seas

I went to Red River Beach in Harwich today and the wind was blowing so hard that just stepping out of my Jeep left me as sand blasted as I'd be if I had tumbled with a wave. Since I didn't want to ruin my camera, I took photos out the passenger window today.

Tonight my husband and I have a date night planned for a game of Scrabble in front of the fire. I'll catch up with all of you tomorrow. Hope you have a great weekend!
Awesome shot =)

Super capture!~ Can almost smell the sea! And have a great evening playing scrabble!

Those gulls almost get lost in all that tremendous surf.
January 14th, 2012  
Wow, Laurie! Those waves are crazy! I love the rough waters! Great capture! Have a great Date night with the Hubby! Sounds fun!
January 14th, 2012  
Awesome shot. Wasn't it glorious? I love when the sea gets so dramatic.

Great capture of yesterday's crazy wind!

The colors, the spray and the waves really capture the look of bad weather at the beach. Great angle, too.
January 14th, 2012  
Fantastic capture.

I hope that your date went well! Mine was nice as well. Sophie was on a sleepover so it would have been silly not to take advantage of the situation. :-)

What kind of bird is that? Wings look long and gray for it to be a gull, but I could be wrong. ;-) This photo is so dramatic! When you described what it was like coming out of your vehicle, I could actually feel the sand pelting from when we were on the Cape during a wind storm. Brrr and ow! :-)

Looks blustery! Great wave action.
January 15th, 2012  
Look at that! It looks scary. It's just beautiful
January 15th, 2012  
oh wow...Intense shot...deep and intense...but looks like the bird will not let it get the best of him...
January 15th, 2012  
Looks like I'm going to have to Fav again! I love how the bird is only just ahead of that wave...like if he's not fast enough, he's going down.

I never even saw this one! That sea looks so menacing in a way. I have such an extreme love and fear of it. Incredible!
January 16th, 2012  
Wow - such a rough surf - it was so windy!! Love the b&w!
January 16th, 2012  
Wonderful shot!!
