We had a rainy weekend. The tornadoes making their way east shook out the dirt hems of their dresses over Topsail. I stayed in for most of the weekend.
Friday had been incredibly foggy. The thick air reminded me of the forest fires of last summer and the heavy cloud they had cast over the island.
I asked one of the gulls about the weather. He didn't want to talk about it.
This guy was tired of the papparazzi and vamoosed when he saw me coming with my camera, even suffering the company of the little peeps for a while.
Despite the weather, I took a little ride down to the Quartermoon Bookstore for a smoothie on my daughter's recommendation. It was excellent; I drank the glass dry.

glad you are staying dry and taking such lovely photos, like your phrase shaking the dust from her hems-so descriptive...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Sandy. Such a somber and sobering time further east. I'm glad you escape any worse than the dirty hem.
ReplyDeleteI'll even take a grey day at the beach. My son and his friends went down to Carolina this weekend. Now I see what they saw :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!
Glad to know a smoothie can bring brightness to a cloudy day.
ReplyDeleteBeach and the sea side is enchanting in any weather.;) As your images prove.;))

Great shots from your rainy day weekend.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are safe!
ReplyDeleteLove the atmosphere of those foggy damp shots. Lovely!
I'll still take a gray and damp day at the beach anyday!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you made the best out of the yucky weather. Good to know you are ok.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear bout your real bad weather Sandy, but you really recored it real well.
ReplyDeleteOh I hate those very wet days We have cold wind blowing and this is most un welcome This is not what we usually have here but these days... lots of wind and rain.
ReplyDeleteI smiled at this post, especially that photo of a gull who doesn't want to chat with you, he's feeling cold. It would be much nicer if some of those waters can just pour in here, as we started our dry season with already a very unusually high temperature of 34.5C. I am scared for April, we might be getting the unexpected.
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been so scary -- glad to hear that you are OK>
ReplyDeleteDefinitely looks like a good time to stay in. You and my son certainly drink your smoothies dry.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos and the text. I'd be like the gull in that kind of weather!;)
ReplyDeleteYour images make me want to curl up with a good book!
ReplyDeleteWeather is never predictable, no matter how many people make a living predicting it.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of your shy gull.

ReplyDeleteOh you have had bad weather I can see.. but your pictures are gorgeous! :) Even the empty glass.. ;D Smoothies IS very good!
ReplyDeleteI heard about the awful tornados in USA, but the tornados are maybe in several states.. Best to stay inside during that weather, oh yeah!
Take care!

Looks like it was a great weekend to stay inside. Such bad weather in so many parts of the country.
