There were a few people walking barefoot on the beach, but they were wearing their winter coats and avoiding the frigid water.

We were here first. There’s plenty of room; do you have to sit so close? Or maybe the story is: Come! Join us we’ll all have a good time. But more likely it’s, “How’s the water, Mabel? What does George have in his hands?
I’ve often read that “great photos always tell a story.” But I don’t think a single photo can ever tell a complete story. Stories have a beginning, middle and end. A single photo can only capture a small fraction of the story. Without context, this is simply a photo of a group of people at a beach with a vast ocean of water in the background. Are they family? Friends? Recent acquaintances? Are they stranded on a desert island? What is the story?

Surreal Surf

Surf and clouds manipulated a little bit in Photoshop. This was created at Fort Morgan, Alabama a day after Hurricane Barry tore through New Orleans. Weather in southern Alabama wasn’t so horrible: a light breeze and some rain with a little flooding in places. The photo has been dramatized, sensationalized and colorized, but other than that – it’s exactly as I envisioned it.
Green Water, White Sand

Mobile Bay
Looking south across Mobile Bay from the east shore at Daphne, Alabama. It was a dreary, foggy, winter day, but the light was fantastic.
Winter on the Gulf of Mexico
Fort Morgan, Alabama – Mid-day, the end of January. It’s cold, but calm. People come down to the beach for their morning walks, to collect seashells or driftwood, perhaps. Two men at the far right, near the horizon, were fishing from beach chairs while a Great Blue Heron closely monitored their activity.
Barnacles
Some barnacles Vicki found on the beach at the end of the Fort Morgan Peninsula yesterday.
Nuances
I like the nuances of color, and the pattern in this seashell I found on the Gulf Coast beach yesterday.

Perdido Pass
Perdido Pass and the Gulf of Mexico on a cool, stormy November day. A few people were on the beach, but nobody was in the water.

Orange Beach, Alabama
The day Hurricane Irma ravaged Florida, I was at Orange Beach, Alabama – just a couple miles from Florida’s westernmost border in the panhandle. The circular bands of clouds give only the barest hint of the massive scale of the storm. Winds were relatively calm in Alabama and nary a drop of rain fell all day.
Mobile Bay, Sept. 19, 2017
Storm clouds build in the west as the sun crests the horizon in the east.
Winds of August on Lake Michigan
Lake Michigan waves crashing into the north pier of the White Lake Channel near Montague, Michigan is my Ooh, Shiny! entry for the WordPress weekly photo challenge.
Windy Winter Day – Gulf Shores, Alabama
Waves on the Gulf were 5 to 6 feet high with 20 m.p.h. winds following a very stormy night in late January. The photo was taken with my cell phone from the beach in front of the Sea-n-Suds Restaurant where we had breakfast.
Mobile Bay
